6 AAs from 1 conference at the same weight

[aknipp 131]

I suspect that has to be a record, 6 of 8 at 174 are from the B1G.

 

There will be conferences that do not have 6 total.

^^^The EIWA is one conference I follow and see that their TOTAL number of NCAA All-Americans this year is only SIX, and 4 of them are seniors. Looking to next season, the EIWA will only have TWO returning NCAA AA's.

I'll play the broken record again: maybe, but they also get 6,007 more qualifying spots than any other conference, so I don't find it that impressive.

It's like the US bragging to the world about how many more McDonalds we got.

Can't figure out why that would be.

[The_Historian 0]

Yes it is a record. The Big 10 has had five on numerous occasions.

How is that a fair comparison? Not following your logic here one bit.

Actually, I can't either, but either way, it doesn't matter. The fact still remains that the Big 10 and Big 12 sends virtually anyone in who is upright and breathing, yet people are still impresssed that they produce so many AAs.

 

Gee, I wonder why?

Not even a little bit?

I am sorry, 8 guys qualified for the 33 person bracket and 6 are in the top 8. That is pretty freaking good.

Ban still doesn't understand the qualifying process

Congrats on the conference that sends 9 guys at each weight placing a lot of guys.

It's kinda like calling the Superbowl winner the "World Champion".

Are you freek'n serious? Look at the % of AAs per qualifier. What a stupid comment.

You're right, I don't! Unfairness is beyond my comprehension, indeed, my friend!

Sure. When you get 24,009 qualifying spots, you're going to get on top of the podium.

 

Great observation, Shrerlock! :P

Gee, I wonder why?

Which of the guys who placed from the Big 10 should not have gone to Nationals?

 

Why did the EIWA not outdo everyone at 141 where they had the most qualifiers?

[madcat11 436]

22% of the wrestlers

 

34% of the AAs.

 

Arguing that B1G deserves fewer bids is going to be an uphill battle.

Stole this from another thread, but after Friday:

 

BIG TEN Qualifiers = 82 out of 330 or 25% of the field

BIG TEN Semi-Finalists = 16 = 40% of field or 20% of all Big Ten Qualifiers are in the Semi's

BIG TEN Quarter-Finalists = 29 = 36% of Field

BIG TEN - TOP 12 = 40 = 33% of field or almost half of the BIG qualifiers place Top 12

BIG - Top 16 = 50 = 31% of field or 60% of all BIG qualifiers place Top 16

BIG - Quarter Finals Head to Head = Six matches

BIG - 3rd Rd WB Head to Head = 5 matches (meaning Big Ten knocked out other Big Ten wrestler)

[ban_basketball 16]

English Bob,

 

The guys who went 0-3 and had to have a biggest loser wrestle off to fill all of the spots that are handed to them.

 

That, my friend, makes a mockery of the allocation system. ;)

How did the biggest losers do, the ones that went 0-3 at the tournament and had to wrestle off to fill the ridiculous amounts of spots handed to them? ;)

Wrestle better, get more qualifiers. Pretty simple.

[ban_basketball 16]

Yes, just like the guys who go 0-3 and still get to make it, right? Or, better yet, how about the guys who can default their way to the tournament?

 

Yes, the power conferences are bad asses, indeed!

They earned their spot throughout the season. It's no longer a one day qualifier, in reality.

Side B of the broken record: then eliminate the conference tournament if they "earned it" even before the tournament. save the money and resources and just send them to the big dance.
