McIntosh - 22nd (21st)
Cutch - 60th (58th)
Nico - 61st (51st)
Gulibon - 111th (129th)
Rasheed - 117th (NR)
Conaway - 160th (141st)


Average
125: Nico - 5th (5th)
133: Conaway - 9th (10th)
141: Gulibon - 9th (9th)
149: Zain - 2nd (2nd)
157: Nolf - 3rd (3rd)
165: Rasheed - 15th (Morelli - 18th)
174: Nickal - 5th (5th)
184: Cutch - 12th (11th)
197: McIntosh - 1st (1st)
285: No PSUer (No PSUer)
Team - 2nd (2nd)

The rule for the Average is a wrestler must be listed in half of the rankings to be included. Rasheed was in 6 of the 8 rankings, so he replaces Morelli at 165 in this week's Average. (Morelli was in 4 of the 7 rankings last week.) Amateur Wrestling News posted rankings this week, for the 1st time in 3 weeks, so this week's Average is a little bit of applies to oranges in terms of comparing it to last week's Average (which did not include the 2-week old AWN rankings). If the 2 computer generated rankings (WrestleStats and Dual Impact Index) are excluded from the Average, these would be the Average for the respective PSU wrestlers (with a comparison in parenthesis): Nico - 4th (up), Conaway - 8th (up), Gulibon - 8th (up), Zain - 2nd (same), Nolf - 3rd (same), Rasheed - 15th (same), Nickal - 5th (down), Cutch 13th (down), McIntosh - 1st (same), Team - 2nd (same).

[Lion-around]

Need some education. I would think PSU would be stronger in a tournament setting rather than a dual setting. Lacking a strong HWT or forfeiting at HWT would definitely hurt in a dual against Iowa, OSU or tOSU; not so much in a tournament I would think. Yet the rankings above show just the opposite; so as I said, educate me here.

The devil-is-in-the-details, so to speak. For the first time since Cael's been at PSU, he has an equally formidable dual and tournament team. Even giving up the 285 match to the top teams, the other 9 weight classes, HTH, match up favorably to other teams. In the case of the Tournament Indexes, Okie State, with 3 guys (Heil, Dieringer, Crutchmer) ranked #1 in many ranking services (vs our 2 for Flo, and 1 for WIN), actually overtakes our team balance.

Another factor is that ranking services do not consider bonus points, and I'd bet (if I was a betting man) dollars-to-donuts we'll have more bonus points at NCAA's than all other teams.

Nico ranked 9th and Isaiah Martinez 4th. Hard for me to take this ranking seriously.

 

[SetonHallPirate]

lionlover, both are hurt by suspect strength of schedules. The Scuffle and Midlands, respectively, should take care of both.

 

[SetonHallPirate]

Had to make minor edits to the 133-pound ranking, and therefore, the pound-for-pound and component rankings, due to the misidentification of a (non-PSU) wrestler for two earlier dual meets. The only Penn State wrestler who was affected was Nickal (11th pound-for-pound, instead of 10th), and none of the Penn State team rankings moved at all.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

The only Penn State wrestler who was affected was Nickal (11th pound-for-pound, instead of 10th), and none of the Penn State team rankings moved at all.

Thanks for the notification, SHP. I edited the Weekly Review to reflect the corrected P4P rank for Nickal.

 

[garw]

Why does Mcutcheon get relatively low ratings? Guy seems to win most of his matches.

 

[RoarLions1]

Cutch has had weak competition, so far...but it's coming...at the Scuffle and the B1G Season.

 

[garw]

Thanks Roar.

 

[tomsc]

Thanks Roar.

And Cutch does have the loss to the NCS back-up. Albeit Cutch was hurt in that match, but it still counts as a not so good loss.

 

[Brian LB-U]

Man, Intermat must have really had Rasheed ranked high (20s? 30s?) going into the Rider match. Brennan dropped four spots to #19 after getting shown the lights on 12/19 yet our guy remains MIA in their top 20. In fairness, their does seem to be a good amount of parity at 65 behind the top hammers.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Fully updated, and Average added. Associated Wrestling Press did not post rankings this week.
