Y2CJ41 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Mike Reiser has been doing the rankings for four years now. Here is the breakdown of ranked kids in the final rankings by year 2015- 172 2014- 171 2013- 171 2012- 170 Also this year he had 166 kids ranked in the preseason that went to state. Take into account move-outs, kids graduating early, injuries, etc. and that is pretty darn good in my book! Tim Konrath and JimR658 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Bleachers Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ya and he would do better if ranked kids didn't get stuck on the same side of the bracket at semi state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sslaymon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 C'mon that's it? Only 172 right? With today's technology, you should be able to predict all 224 without a mishap. I'd say that's pretty dang good, considering what In The Bleachers just said. If they didn't have to wrestle so early, then he could probably would have predicted even more. Nice work Mike.

wrestlenewbie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 That is a good number when you consider that: 1.) the spread between the 16 and the 17, or 18, 19, 20 etc. wrestler is probably pretty small and therefore something of a greater judgement call, and 2.) most of the ranked wrestlers who do not advance probably come from the low end of the rankings (12 - 16). If that is the case then the degree of error on a weighted basis shrinks even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntegratedCarp Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Reiser does a great job. For a highly subjective criteria, it is amazing how accurate his rankings are at the end of the year. Let's not forget that rankings might be accurate, but still a guy misses out on state because of a tough draw. 160 at M'ville had ranked wrestlers in Sopko and Prentice go out losing to other ranked wrestlers, while a weaker bracket eeked some unranked wrestlers through.

fanatic46041 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) And thats why you should rank the top four in the semi-states 1-16 eventhough you kniw someone else may be better but, onky 4 can go...then you could get all 16 per weight correct...

The rankings aren't a prediction of who will make it to state. It is a listing of the top 16/20 kids in the state. Troll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then you can have the top four draw into each other. Does someone have the stat that show how many ranked wrestlers lost to other ranked wrestlers? How many ranked wrestlers lost to unranked wrestlers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Brigade Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Another stellar job by mike. This is not an easy, nor always properly appreciated, task. I doff my cap to you, sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thanks again everyone for the kind words. The biggest things between Pick'ems and rankings I would say is I don't try to rank 4 from every semi state I try to rank the most deserving kids like 26 at new castle a lot of those guys deserved to be ranked. Also the rankings re result driven and my Pick'ems are more a guess of who I feel is wrestling better at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMode#31 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) They still have kids in wrong weights...it was a good try though.Easy now...the quality of your website speaks for itself. There is no need for you to make fun of someone else's site. The Indianamat Rankings were very good this year, as usual. It is impressive how accurate they are considering the impossibility of watching/evaluating/comparing all wrestlers in all corners of the state. Keep up the good work.

BrokenTowelRack Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Mike, When I finished my last season as the RankingsGuy in 2011 and gave you the reigns for the 2012 season, I knew you were the perfect guy for the job. From there, you've taken the rankings to new heights and helped make IndianaMat one of the premiere wrestling news sites in the country. My hats off to you, Joe, Chad, and the whole team. Can't wait to see where IndianaMat goes from here. Great job as always. You're one of the best and most knowledgable wrestling fans I know. -Eric McGill combatspeed06, ontherise219, Tim Konrath and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth34 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 How many if you only count 1-16? Since 20 don't qualify for state in each class. That might look even more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
