Lot's of math to digest! Here is my prediction for 2026-2027. Penn State will score more points than any other team in the NCAA tournament. Anyone here care to bet against me?

Since its summer and the living is easy... Can you run the expected points model with just Penn State wrestlers and then again with just the field (no Penn State)? Pretty sure Penn State will exceed the field in the top 3 seeds at least.

And also while I am killing time on the golf course... show me the forecast #1 Seed points by weight class. I find work much easier for me if you do it!!! .

While you’re at it, with all this time on your hands, why not run it using what you believe to be Penn State’s starting line up and then again using Penn State’s top back up. That should yield the #1 team and a top 5 team or better.

I love these ideas.

I have done a "PSU bump" calc in the past. And will do it again. And while back-ups may be a bridge to far....dare to dream. It's what separates us from the savages.

Sadly Penn State has not been good enough to provide data at every seed over the last seven tournaments. Oh well.

But among the top 8 seeds this is what the average performance looks like for PSU vs The Field



The #1 seeds are real laggards, only outperforming the field by 16%. The #7 seed outperformed by 257%. If the #1 seed did the same they would average over 48 points per tournament. That is how that works, right?

Thanks, but I hope Okie State doesn't notice. This is the secret sauce... 40 bonus points last year at NCAAs. And with Levi hopefully returning they are all back...
