Jimmy Cinnabon 411 Report post Posted March 17 Actually isn't Penn State, Iowa or Michigan.... I'd say it's NC State! They are tied for 3rd with 11 points, however their maximum potential points is 283 which is only 0.5 points behind Iowa. They have all 10 wrestlers still alive, with 6 in the championship bracket.

Nope. PSU based on bonus points and wrestled to within 1.5 of expectations prior to bonus points. All 10 alive? Has to be the dumbest thing you have written yet. 2 BerniePragle and potentiallydangerous reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casper 109 Report post Posted March 17 Oklahoma State will start its Stealth Attack this next round as they blow away everyone in the race to the Title! In reality John Smith needs to retire and go into announcing matches. His insights and commentary is well done and his approach welcome as he 'coaches' from the mike and questions what happens on the mat. 3 dwkeller, stp and Hufarted reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mspart 270 Report post Posted March 17 I won't disagree about John Smith. He is a great coach, but I think he has lost his edge in recruiting and coaching. He is killer behind the mic. I listened to him the whole Olympics and was really pleased with him and JB going back and forth. mspart 1 dwkeller reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another silly take of yours. The team doing the best is the one in the lead with 15.5 points after round 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is more likely? : 1) The team leading after the first round wins the tournament; 2) A team not leading after the first round wins the tournament.

Nice strawman. Look at the max potential points and how the rest of the bracket shakes out. It's a bit more complicated than "you have a 50:50 shot a winning. You win or you don't."

Has to be the dumbest thing you have written yet. I'm really digging your statistics and the data visualizations you have been sharing. Been awesome to observe how you deliver what folks want in a digestible manner to create wow and simplify + edit. And then using the statistics in a BI sense to win arguments... chef's kiss!

TBar1977 4,611 Report post Posted March 17 (edited) Penn State. They lead. They also could have easily scored an additional bonus pt as they came close to TF 2x and only got the major. Edited March 17 by TBar1977 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
