decbell1 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'd like to hear your thoughts on how Castle, EMD, and Reitz should now be ranked, as they are 1-1 against each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Updated through January 17 now. Not much has changed. Decbell: I kept them in the same order (EMD, Castle, Reitz) because of quality of wins. Reitz may be the best of the 3, but we don't have enough to go on. EMD beat Merrillville and Bloomington South, Castle beat Bellmont and Penn, and Reitz's second-best victory is a 10-point win out of the Top 20. I gave you some more thoughts about slotting in a pm.

catfish Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 MD does not deserve a number one ranking! They lost at home 36-21. This was in MD's gym and it was not a competitive match. It does not matter that Reitz has not wrestled anyone else. They beat the number one team soundly and it was recent. Reitz is solid and they proved on the mat that they deserve to finally climb above MD. Anybody that knows wrestling and witnessed the match would agree. They are all 1-1. The only thing that seperates them is Castle and MD lost by double digits. Reitz dominated MD and lost a close one to Castle. Rankings should be Reitz/Castle/MD.

maligned Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yeah, again, we're splitting hairs trying to separate them. If you want to compare victory margins, then we have to bring in other results too: EMD 47, Memorial 9; Reitz 34, Memorial 24. These matches happened just before Christmas--well after football. If we're going simply on wins and losses, then they're all three at 1-1 amongst each other and the only option is to look at strength of victories outside of the duals amongst themselves. Again, there's no way to say EMD is better than Reitz because we know what happened in the dual. But there's also no way to say Reitz is better than Castle...and no way to say Castle is better than EMD. So we go with the data we have available until the top team proves themselves in the tournament. Catfish: I explained a couple more things in a p.m. Thanks for your thoughtful posts.

B Campbell Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Peru: 1.McCutcheon* 2.Delphi 3.Lafayette Jeff 4.W. Lafayette Harrison This will be a fight at sectionals! All four of these teams are at the Jeff sectional. The HCC meet was crazy with Harrison edging McCutcheon and Jeff....Sectionals belong to any of these 4 teams!!!! With the winner likely going to team state! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUBjj171 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 MD will be 3rd. It will come down between Reitz and Castle. How will it go this time personally its nice to see the talent come up and have fierce competition but i'm hoping Castle comes out again for the win and another shot at a team state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 I made a couple of small changes based on recent results and recently having seen earlier results that I didn't know about before. Chesterton and Lake Central moved up a slot each. Elkhart Memorial traded places with Goshen. WL Harrison moved up a slot (I consider their tourney victory over McCutcheon/Jeff about half as important as their dual losses to the same teams). That's about it for changes.

maligned Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 A couple more small changes because of old results I've been looking through: Southwood joins the fold in the Peru regional (they should have a say at sectional; I'd completely missed their results before). Also, I somehow didn't realize the consistency of performances by North Central...they're fringe top 20 at worst, so they've moved up a couple spots as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loscoz Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 MD will be 3rd. It will come down between Reitz and Castle. How will it go this time personally its nice to see the talent come up and have fierce competition but i'm hoping Castle comes out again for the win and another shot at a team state I think that it is up for grabs, MD is diffently dropping off but I do think that after getting thier butts handed to them they have improved and Reitz is on a roll. Not taking anything away from Castle they have good group of wrestlers but it will come down to which coach gets their young men fired up, with that being said MD will not be a factor. MD is NOT wrestling like the teams before them and there is no motivation from the coaches. That is the observation of an outsider looking in. This my opinion and opinions are like well you know and they all stink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decbell1 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Now that sectional brackets have been released and we know everyone's record, I see Huntington North being favored in 8 of 14 matches against Delphi and McCutcheon. I have them at 7-7 with Lafayette Jeff. Huntington finally has its full lineup back and I think they are being very underestimated going into Team Regionals Wednesday.

decbell1 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Haha, have you seen the Peru sectional brackets? Unless someone from HN quits, I don't see any way that Peru beats them. Huntington will finish higher than them in 9 weight classes. Peru is not the same team as the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Dat Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 They have to beat Peru first. I wouldn't count your eggs first If I remember correctly Huntington beat them handly at the Peru duals with out all of their kids. Now with a full line-up, Huntington beats them AGAIN with even more team points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Check out the Genius Ratings if you haven't...computer ratings for every team in the state from 1 to 314. This gives another measuring stick for teams in each sectional/regional: http://www.indianamat.com/genius-ratings-version-1-0/2010/01/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 UPDATED: Now that I've seen all the results necessary to finish the Genius ratings, here are my final opinions about each team regional's top teams. The "favorites" star (*) doesn't mean those are necessarily my personal pick to win sectional, but they are the team I feel has done the most to deserve the ranking or "favorite" label.

The fact that they forfeited 189 instead of having the 2 seed kept them from winning. It's pretty cut and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
