That's a joke. Did the Bakersfield coach vote Jackson 2nd and Little/Munoz tied for 3rd or something? Do the points work out that way? EDIT - I see Munoz ducked Little as well. So if the Bakersfield coach is smart he votes Little 4th and then I think that makes the points work.

Coaches have no one but themselves to blame for all of the ducking. (Come to think of it, they are the ones responsible for it in the first place most of the time, aren't they?)

IDK, seems as though Ferrari could get **some** blame for it.

But yeah, that seeding is idiotic. Looks as though they went straight Coaches Poll without considering conference records.

I wonder if the other weights aligned exactly with the Coaches Poll. Defaulting to the poll would be dumb, but at least consistent and more defensible than coach voting shenanigans.

Rumor has it, PAC-12 consulted wrestle stat.

Other weights looked fairly good since 197 was the only weight where there was injuries/ducking of opponents. Otherwise most other weights looked fairly accurate of outcomes
 
One mat for the Pac 12 Championships and there's no announcers? Just dubbed music so you can't even hear the arena noise. Weird setup, seeing as they are holding it early Thursday so they don't have to compete with the other conferences.

**EDIT: Arena noise was just added back
