[Earl]

[bronco]

Good deal...... ;D

Looking forward to seeing the updated rankings

Earl-Is a bi-weekly schedule for ranking releases what you are planning on doing in the future, just out of curiousity?

[Earl]

Once the new year hits I'll update them every week. Aside from Reno and some stuff this week, schools don't do a whole lot from now until the Scuffle/Midlands.

This weeks one's have been updated.

THIS IS TOTALLY MEANINGLESS........ WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

[setonhallpirate]

OK...here's what I'm doing...I'm taking each team's ranking at each weight class, and giving them points based on how many points they would earn if the rankings held form for the NCAA Tournament...the scale:

1) 20
2) 16
3) 13.5
4) 12.5
5) 10
6) 9
7) 6.5
8) 5.5
9-12) 2
13-16) 1.5
17-24) .5

Obviously, this does not include pins, but it's an accurate representation of tournament strength from the ranker's point of view (in this case Earl's)...I do the same thing for Jason Bryant at Intermat, if you're wondering.

Now, if you'd like to tell me why what I did is "totally meaningless", rather than just shouting it out without any reasoning and asking me what I'm thinking, I'll be thrilled to answer you...

You are totally off base! The tournament is 4 months off and rating teams this way is ridicules until tourney time! then I would agree in your thinking. But now and until then it should be reflective of dual strength as thus is the dual season now! And with the national dual meet coming up in a month you could better serve wrestling and its fans by rating teams on dual strength.

Anyone that looks at your team ratings right now are just laughing! A) It's dual season and b) No one is thinking about the NCAA's yet.

Just my opinion!

^^^I think two of the major first semester events are the Vegas Invitational and the Southern Scuffle. I really favor the tournaments at this time of the season. Dual rankings are fine and so are rankings based on tournament strength. I like dual meets, but most of our big, showcase events are tournaments. -Stove Pipe

I assume you meant to throw the Midlands in there also...
