Why is Brooks ranked 3rd? He’s the 2 time defending National champion

Seeding criteria is determined by coaches and computer guys. It is so much better today than it was years ago. Coaches understand the process and are happy with it. Only uninformed emotional fans criticize the process.

It’s been good and tough tonight to get wins but at this level it ain’t easy regardless what happened last year. Team got the NC so I’m proud of all of ‘em and I’m sure they’re proud as well. That dude RBY wrestled is one tough dude man.

Rather than imply you're an uninformed fan criticizing the process, I'll actually try to answer your question.

This is from FloWrestling (They had an article wondering why Brooks wasn't #1, so you certainly weren't the only one)

First, the NCAA uses a matrix formula for every qualifier. Here is what the initial criteria looks like:

1. Head-to-head competition — 25 percent
2. Quality wins — 20 percent
3. Coaches Ranking — 15 percent
4. Results against common opponents — 10 percent
5. RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) — 10 percent
6. Qualifying event placement — 10 percent
7. Win % — 10 percent

This sets the baseline for a committee that can then choose to change a seed if they so please. Aaron Brooks wrestled in the NWCA All Star Classic, but it did not count on official records or for seeding, so he didn’t get credit for beatingParker Keckeisen this season. That makes his best win on the year six-seed Kaleb Romero. To the committee, it wasn't enough to alter seeding.

Again, this is straight from FloWrestling. I was curious about your question Southern, not knowing how it works myself... so I looked it up.

@sky Brooks won his 3rd National Championship so the coaches and computers got it wrong lol

Obviously you don’t understand the sport especially what the purpose of seeding is. You didn’t hear Cael criticize where the PSU kids were seeded.

When a #16 seed in the basketball tournament knocks off a #1 seed, does that mean #16 should have been seeded #1?

Penn State coach Cael Sanderson labels NCAA wrestling seeding process as a ‘flawed system’ - pennlive.com

Displeased with 16-seeds for Drew Hildebrandt and Brady Berge, coach says system is 'consistently inconsistent.'

The two guys that Cael felt were inappropriately seeded, both lost to guys seeded below them. Obviously the seeding committee got it right in 2022. In 2023 every PSU guy was seeded in a position to win. Essentially seeding is not supposed to with 100% accuracy predict the order of finish. The purpose is to keep the best guys in opposite brackets. Cael should have kept his mouth shut. BTW, the Coaches Association each year evaluates the seeding and the results have proven that the changes made over the years has improved the process.

So you've gone from calling Southern an emotion fan that should keep his mouth shut, to saying Cael would never question the seedings, to now saying one of the greatest coaches and wrestlers the sport has ever seen should have "kept his mouth shut" after he did question the seedings.

I mean, wow.

Well, except Cael who criticized it... but sure, only emotional fans. Carry on.
