Quite fair overall
Matrix criteria must have loved raf, kinda shocked for his seed.
McGonagale gets a bum draw round one with his army opponent
Overall beyond tech, they need to tweak the criteria to reward wrestlers for wrestling during the season. Seems like up and down the brackets, guys who skipped tourneys or sat out dual meet matchups were generally rewarded. The sport is gonna suffer as the trend of make coaches rank eligibility, make win % eligibility and make rpi eligibility reigns supreme.
The fact that guys with 30+ matches and win % over .800 are getting 20 something seeds is a problem while other programs have guys at 17-1 pulling top seeds is gonna discourage competition dates

Thought McG deserved a better seeding, but happy. Outside VT, dont agree w/

I stand corrected on seed but my point on rewarding 11 wins is where I rest**

Actually pretty fantastic, but it will be tough to wrestle at or above seed

The 12 seed at HWT is immensely better than the 11.

Alirez only lost one match. Him getting 8th is crazy**

He barely wrestled this year and didn't have many quality wins.

He’s 16-1. I haven’t looked at the criteria though

I believe he also didn’t wrestle UNI which would have helped him. **

If you are to ever bet on an Ultimate Road Warrior, Bouzakis is he.**
