Yes to an extent but idk how or when they will apply some of these things. At. 125 with smith and Moran are both 5-3 .Moran has better Ls- Bouzakis , LL and Moore but no good wins. Smith has worse loses but a better W over Volk.

157 will Webster be penalized for losing by injury def to Millard ? Will white get dropped for his lose to Catrabone who lost to Melcher who lost to Millard who lost to white and both guys have a worse big ten record then white. Jordan Williams beat melcher but lost to catrabone and Millard. Webster missed a match or 2 …

the back half of 174 is difficult to figure out, all those guys round robined each other and Pinto missed some duals so does he get the 11 or does he get the 8 for beating riddle who beat the other guys

Coaches poll and RPI being involved makes it difficult to decide the close ones .
Webster will definitely get penalized for his loss and Millard will receive the head to head points.

Yea I think Smith/Moran is going to come down who argues for their side better and with Goodale being a jersey guy I like his chances of winning an argument.

157 I could see white being the 4 if Webster is punished for the inj def but how far does Webster drop? He majored White but lost to Millard who white beat.. so white 4 ,Millard 5 Webster 6?

At 141, both Crumpler (MSU) and Exferd (Wis) are winless and Lemus (MD) has only a win over Gibson.
Part of the criteria will be: coaches ranking, having an RPI, are you bringing an allocation, and quality wins all will factor into the points total. With that Joey O should be higher than 14. How high? Not sure.

Here is a thread on the Penn St wrestling board that roarlion does his seeding preview:

He is currently through 4 weight classes and has: (not using the point system)
Shawver 10th
Clark 6th
SCW 8th
Katka 9th

All of these appear to be about where they will end up as I look up the results.

Accurate, SCW gets Goin, would have been Moore, but he beat Goin. At his best he could beat either one. Needs to win the first one. Then he gets Welch
