I’m curious how heavily the coaches’ ranking is weighted? If it’s a significant factor, makes me wonder if there’s any “PSU fatigue” factor that could help tilt it toward Valencia and away from Hall. Coaches are only human (most, anyway) and it’s not hard to imagine some growing weary of PSU’s dynastic run. When coupled with the All Stars HTH that’s not supposed to count, voters with such tendencies might be emboldened. In the end, it doesn’t really change anything, but it’s interesting to contemplate.
This is a post from Roar in a previous thread...
1) Head-to-head competition — 25 percent
2) Quality wins — 20 percent
3) CR — 15 percent
4) Results against common opponents — 10 percent
5) RPI — 10 percent
6) Qualifying event placement — 10 percent
7) Win % — 10 percent
-- Nothing for #1.
-- For #2, Hall has #4 Kutler (2x), #5 Amine, #6 Jordan (and could get him again), #12 Lydy, #18 Finesilver, and #20 Sebastian (may get him again at B1G's). Valencia has #4 Kutler, #5 Amine, #6 Jordan (2x), #7 Lujan (2x), #9 Subjeck, #10 Mejias, and #11 Kocer (2x). He could get Subjeck again at Pac-12's. Advantage slightly to Valencia.
-- For #3, right now, it's Valencia
-- For #4, it's a wash.
-- For #5, right now, it's Hall...and should stay that way through the tournament.
-- For #6, unknown...both have to win their tournament for this to be a wash.
-- For #7, it's a wash.
Right now, by the criteria, by the slightest of margins, it's Valencia, with a slightly tougher schedule (#4, #5, #6 2x, #7 2x, #9, #10, #11 2x, vs #4 2x, #5, #6, #12, #18, #20). If Hall wins the B1G's and the Coaches Ranking flips, Hall should be #1 Seed.
