Penn State Wrestling Stats

Thank you for this
Like I’ve said before you go to PSU to win titles and you go to Iowa to be an AA!
Iowa, where wrestlers go to be legends.
With the 5 year, Carter could find himself at the top of the list.
(If I calculated that correctly)

Wow! This really shows the domination since Cael took over. The last 14 years with a season ending NCAA tournament, PSU failed to score 107.5 or more points only twice. One of those was the 2015 "punt year" and PSU still scored more points that season than Iowa did last year.
Thanks so much for putting this together!

Of the top 20 teams in that chart, Cruiseliners had the worst record in medal matches at 35.3%. PSU was at 70.9%
From the data I find interesting the number of PSU wrestlers that win their final placement matches during wrestle backs (3rd, 5th, 7th) compared to the number that lost (4th, 6th, 8th). Our guys consistently battle back for the next best thing they can get.
iowa legends have to go thru the whole season not scoring more than 3 points a match!
A fan over there right now is predicting 9 AAs next year, 3 champs, and 143 points. All they need is Parco, Alirez, and Race Car.
They had 4 AAs this year
What they don't need is race car. Bringing the trash back in the house would be a major mistake.
What’s amazing is to separate by Taylor-Ruth (2010-14), Nickal-Nolf (2015-19), and Brooks-Starocci (2021-24) and separation between PSU and #2 has grown each time and significantly. It’s always PSU and Iowa but it was Minnesota #3 then Ohio State #2 and now it’s Michigan in the #3 spot.
cracks me up how this iowa guy has what 4 or 5 guys in the lineup that aren't even on the team!contenders?I think not!
idk if this qualifies or it's what you're looking for but...
five Top 14's in one recruiting class.
it's never been done.
nor has 4 World teamers in one class.

Since Cael arrived in Happy Valley, PSU has more 100+ points performances at nationals than all other schools combined.
My bad. It’s as many.
PSU: 12 (2011- 2014, 2016-2019, 2021-2024)
Everyone else combined: 12
Iowa: 3 (2010, 2012, 2021)
Ohio St: 3 (2015, 2017, 2018)
Minnesota: 3 (2012-2014)
Okie St: 2 (2013, 2017)
Cornell 1 (2012)
My FIFY was based on an old running joke about PSU + Minnesota championships. Probably before your time.
You missed Iowa 2020, 10 champs, 299 points, Spencer won championship match with a major. Only non Hawk pin.
Yeah, yeah. I know. I missed it too, but Spooner swears their championship is as valid as a PSU football championship. So it must have happened.
Here's a big NCAA tournament data drop. What's included:
Database: The raw data with all of the wrestler info, weights, seeds, results, points, etc from 2007 to present
Info: Explanation of the stat categories, sources, data collection and known issues
Pivot: Sortable data across categories
Team sheets: Currently team sheets for Penn State, Iowa, OkState, aOSU, Cornell and Minnesota. The first table in each can be changed from the pull down menu for different stats.

Some early observations:
Iowa has the most NCAA points since 2007 at 125 (125 is second highest overall after PSU's 174)
Oklahoma State most at 133
Ohio State most at 141
Penn State most at 157 thru 197 (174 is ridiculous)
Minnesota most at 285
Tyler Kasak is the 5th wrestler since 2007 to lose his first match and then win 7 straight to finish 3rd.
Iowa has 3 more wins than Penn State (but has 90 more losses).
Iowa has qualified 125 and 165 every year and only has missed once at 6 other weights.
Oklahoma State has qualified 125, 133 and 174 every year
Minnesota has qualified 141 every year
Yes, Penn State wasn't very good pre-Cael but even during the Cael era since 2010, 184 is the only weight that has qualified every year

If Carter goes undefeated this year it will be four straight years where he has gone undefeated in matches he actually wrestled. He officially has the two Medical forfeit losses from last season. Without those Medical forfeit losses he could have been only the second wrestler since Cael to have gone undefeated for four straight seasons!
Cali, I found a few seed discrepancies in the data. I tried to DM you, but I do not think I have that capability. So here goes:
2015 197 - Morgsn McIntosh is 3.5 seed, should be 2 seed
2016 165 - Bo Jordan should be 3 seed
2016 165 - Daniel Lewis is 14 seed, should be 4 seed
2016 165 - David McFadden should be 14 seed
2016 285 - Ty Wlalz should be 3 seed
2019 133 - Gary Wayne Harding is 16 seed, should be 18 seed
2023 157 - Jacob Wright is 20 seed, should be 15 seed

@wrestleknownothing
Great stuff. Always wondered about takedowns and rides. Keep it coming. Sports is all about stats!
If my math is correct, going back to the last dual of the 2014/2015 season, Penn State is 112-2 over its last 114 duals. One of the 2 losses was the one to ASU in 2019 where PSU had to forfeit at 184 and lost the dual by only 1 point. That level of success is hard to wrap your head around. Insane good.
