    Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

    Objectively, Mesenbrink has a better resume than Watters lol

    Last year we moved Richard Figueroa down from 1 to 3 after he was mostly inactive in the first semester. He was obviously the returning NCAA Champ, but his season the year prior was a roller coaster one. On top of that, we felt guys who were competing deserved to move up based on more recent...

    This is some incredible fan fiction lol Here's how I do the rankings every week - Every Sunday night/Monday I insert every result in our ranking spreadsheet. That way I can quickly see where upsets occur and all the results are in one place. After that, I usually move wrestlers around based on...

    Google is old news - I asked ChatGPT if rankings were predictions, and it said, "Usually no. Rankings are not predictions—they are snapshots of past performance."

    Upsets happen all the time, and they'd happen if I made predictions every week. So even in your scenario, the rankings would need to change every week based on results from the week before. Our process is results-based and presents the clearest picture possible of the best wrestlers in the...

    We have moved guys down in the past if they moved up early because of a "big" win that proved less valuable later in the season. The most heat we took for this was two years ago when Jack Maida beat Eddie Ventresca early and moved up to #12. Then Ventresca lost to Max Gallagher, Dom Mendez, and...

    '25 Ironman Tournament (12/12-14) thread

    Grey's corner is far side - you can see his dad at the beginning of the video. It's Grey who yells, "He's biting me!" Your hearing is biased just like your view of the rankings ;) Regardless of if it was a bite or not, it's a shame the match had to end like this. I'm sure it's not the way Grey...

    O'Brien's corner was the one that had a clear view of the bite/cross face. Grey is the one who was yelling about the biting.

    I honestly love the rankings talk and conversations like these. And I'm not against changing the p4p or any other rankings when I make a mistake. Earlier this year I had Ty Watters above Lilledahl in the p4p and changed it after someone reached out. As for Vega-I think he's at least top 30, and...

    Again, even though Rocco Welsh is an NCAA finalist, he doesn't have a win in his career as good as Vega or Lockett. You know all NCAA finalists aren't equal, and I don't think I'm disrespecting Rocco by saying he had a relatively easy path in going through Edmond Ruth, Lennox Wolak, Danny Wask...

    Sergio Vega and Dee Lockett already have a better "best win" than Rocco Welsh. Who has Rocco beaten that's better than Brock Hardy or Michael Caliendo? Best wins play a pretty big roll in how we view the p4p. Rocco also lost to Edmond Ruth twice during the year he made the NCAA finals.

    You nailed it! But in all seriousness, this happens pretty frequently, where a wrestler will be ranked lower in the p4p than in the weight class (VomBaur beatting Bartlett is a good example). In p4p we weigh a wrestler's career more heavily than recent results. Ferrari has 3 career losses, so...
