Way too early BUT, what does Steen need...
- Thread starter Psugo823
- Start date
Finish high enough in the Big 10 tournament to get a pre-allocated spot or qualify as an at large
PRE-ALLOCATION FORMULA
Pre-allocations for 2023 will be determined by using the pre-allocation formula described below and will be communicated to all qualifying events by Feb. 24. Wrestlers in each weight class will be measured on the following: winning percentage (Win %), rating percentage index (RPI) and coaches’ ranking (CR). Win % is defined as Division I wins divided by total Division I matches contested. RPI is defined as Win %*, opponents’ Win %* and opponents’ opponents’ Win % (15-match minimum). CR is defined as the weight class-specific ranking as determined by the NCAA Division I Wrestling Coaches Ranking Panel.
*Note: Each wrestler who has 15 matches will have an RPI, without the requirement of the wrestler’s opponents to have 15 matches, as well.
Wrestlers must have wrestled a minimum of eight matches at the championships weight class. Wrestlers who meet or exceed threshold levels for any two of the three measures will earn a pre-allocated position for their respective weight class at their respective qualifying event. If a wrestler earns a pre-allocated position and does not compete in his conference or qualifying tournament, the pre-allocated position that was earned by this wrestler for his qualifying event will revert to the at-large pool, unless the wrestler who earned the pre-allocated position is replaced by a wrestler who also meets or exceeds the threshold levels for that respective weight class. If a qualifying event does not have any pre- allocated spots at a weight class, one automatic qualifier position will be allocated for that qualifying event’s champion at that weight class. The committee will allocate the number of pre-allocated spots of the 330 championships field using the primary formula. Threshold levels may slide up or down in concert (i.e., slide up to .800 Win %, top 20 RPI and top 20 CR or slide down to .700 Win %, top 30 RPI and top 30 CR) to achieve a total number of qualifiers in the desired range. The maximum number of pre-allocations per weight class shall be 29.
SELECTION CRITERIA
On March 6, wrestlers in each weight class will receive an updated Win %, RPI and coaches’ ranking that includes all competition through the qualifying events. Wrestlers who meet or exceed any two of the following criteria will be eligible for at-large consideration:
● .700 Win %
● Top 33 RPI
● Top 33 CR
● .700 winning percentage against all competition
● One win against a wrestler receiving an earned position (pre-allocated)
● Qualifying event placement one below number of pre-allocated spots
Only wrestlers that meet or exceed two of the above criteria will be eligible for selection as at-large qualifiers. A wrestler must have participated in his respective conference or qualifying tournament in order to be considered for at-large selection to the championships.
*Note: Wrestlers without conference affiliation may be considered if all other criteria are met. The NCAA Wrestling Committee will use the following weighted criteria, in priority order, to evaluate the wrestlers:
● Head-to-head competition — 25%
● Quality wins — 20%
● Coaches ranking — 15%
● Results against common opponents — 10%
● RPI — 10%
● Qualifying event placement — 10%
● Win percentage — 10%
*Note: Coaches’ Ranking — A wrestler must have wrestled eight matches at the championships weight class to be eligible to be ranked in that weight class. He also must have wrestled at least one match in the 30 days preceding each ranking period in the respective weight class. If a wrestler does not meet each of these two criteria, he will be removed from the ranking list for that ranking period.

If he hangs tight, he will probably finish second in conference by way of Spencer chasing everybody else to 133.
In his case he is going to almost undoubtedly need to autoqualify at B1G tourney as I don't see him getting an at large..
Steen could by the end of the year put together a good enough resume to snatch an at large, but as everybody has pointed out it is better to self qualify at the Big10 tournament and it is still a possibility he earns the Big10 an autospot.
To achieve the successes needed he could start Sunday.
Maintain positioning ALWAYS
High pace, head snaps, head pulls and offensive attacks.
Make the bottom man fight tooth and nail to get out, don't just release him once he is on his feet.
Get off bottom.
He no longer is the more talented bully. Make the adjustments necessary.

The conference has 10 returning NQs (including 4 AAs). 10 starters are ranked in Intermat's top 33, and 2 other starters are 9-0 and 10-1.
The bad news: right now Steen would be the 13 or 14 seed at B10s. The good news: B10 will get a lot of auto-qualifiers -- at least 8, probably 9-10. Outside chance at 11-12.
Ultimately he will need to win 2 matches in the B10 main bracket to finish top 8. That will qualify him without having to deal with the 9-14 mini-bracket. He can help his chances by winning some duals, thereby improving his B10 seed.
Relying on an at-large bid should not enter his mind at all.

Where did you get the Brooks vs Hidlay footage?
That was shot at the new, upgraded training facilities. We have eyes everywhere: all-seeing, all-knowing.
Steen will be going against Kaylor on Sunday. That's going to be an interesting match-up. BK took 4th in the CKLV tournament on Saturday, but he lost a real close one to Ramos from Purdue in the semis. He got just a little out of position in the 2nd period and gave up a TD which decided the match. Other than that, it was pretty close between the two of them. He's never been to Rec Hall before, so I think he's going to be impressed with the size of the crowd and all the other trappings. I'm sure he's anxious to get this week over with.
This weekend's match is a great opportunity for Steen. How he attacks the opportunity should be telling.
People are all different, and while some can be intimidated by crowd size others embrace the opportunity to perform in front of a packed house. It should be a fun match.
