WrestleStat - Preseason 2026-2027
- Thread starter Acacia
- Start date
VT shows Bo Bassett, and OSU Rayne though, granted unranked, so the team points will go up accordingly?
A bit insane that the top three teams are all over 130 points, wow, PSU with a new scoring record and OSU over 150, crazy top weighting, OSU with Rainey and Ross properly ranked will be kissing 180 as well

The database is still be loaded. Only starters count in rankings. Many of the schools have not listed their (tentative) starters. Look at the rosters for each school to see starters. The high scoring for Penn State, VT, Okie State will drop off as the starters for each of the other teams are updated.
We'll see how the portal shakes out. It would be ironic if VT can pass Iowa by.
OKST returns 116.5 pts. VT returns 51.5 pts including Henson.
If Bassett and Burton both hit the max next year (5-0 with 5 pins at NCAAs), then VT still needs OKST to lose 5 pts from last year just to tie for 2nd. And VT isn't getting 60 pts from Bassett and Burton.
Agreed shouldn’t shock anyone. Iowa will struggle within 3 years for even the 4th pave trophy. Until they finally move T&T it’s gonna be hard next year even.

why does iowa even recruit high schoolers when they aren't going to give them a chance!
WrestleStat is coming into focus as the transfers are added to rosters. Penn State and Okie State are miles ahead. 3-7 are all separated by less than 7 points. If Provo and Garvin stay put at Stanford, only AJ Ferrari and Zepeda are currently the only difference makers sill available.

The difference in Taylor's 3rd year is 2 big time wrestlers. Cael just keeps reloading. When will they even that gap if they can even it. Historically, PSU could beat the field with just their top 5 finishers as they were scoring 100-125 points. The remaining 3-5 wrestlers pile on "back" team points. Teams aren't able to match either group. Bonus is another edge. Taylor might bag one every few years, but It's been incredible to have been/be a fan of this program. The greatest ever. Its crazy businesses haven't studied this and applied.
