I like the idea of taking the top 8 ranked teams and hosting it a certain day. What about the weekend before Conference? I know people have things scheduled already. But it is pretty simple, if we all agree that we want a team state then we change our schedules to leave that date open. That would give teams that aren't competing the chance to have a Saturday off, a day of practice, or a chance to go watch some good wrestling before the post season starts. I know allot of schools don't wrestle the opening weekend. Well maybe they need to change that and start their season a weekend earlier. Also with taking the top 8 ranked teams everyone will be watching the rankings more and that would put targets on those top ranked teams which would create some real exciting season match ups. I can just picture a number 9 or 10 ranked team wrestling a number 8 ranked team and the excitement just being huge and drawing a good crowd. I realize rankings aren't going to be perfect. But I would hope we can at least get the top 2 or so teams correct and the true State Champion team will prevail. If you want to have 3 classes then have 3 classes and you could have it one school or 3 different schools. Heck you could give an opportunity to one of the top 8 schools in those classes the chance to host it every year.
Am I off base here? I could be missing something.
