If PSU can go 5 for 5 again, do they need 7 AA's?

They would not. That would put the floor at 100 and if PSU goes 5 for 5 I can’t see how Iowa or UM would get to 100.

Obviously there are variations that could change what Penn State *has to* do, but I felt these were a fairly baseline case.

If I were Penn State, I would simply go 9 for 9.

I think our point total from last year (113.5) wins this year. It's a much deeper tournament and Iowa obviously lost their big scorer and are more hobbled.

 

[McScoreley]

My first, very rough run through the brackets had:

PSU 113
UM 96.5
Iowa 81.5

So yeah, 113.5 should get it done.

Curious what kind of placings you had for Iowa, Michigan if you don't mind sharing.

Yes, 9 for 9.......Like the Quecreek miners.

PSU 141.5 - 5 Champs
MICH 114.5 - 1 Champ
IOWA 110 - 1 Champ

Totally impartial!

Hopefully 6 in the Semi’s and 2 in the blood round.
I am excited to see them wrestle

It would put the floor at 110 if not higher. The 5 + Kerk are all getting bonus in Round 1, and probably also in Round 2.

 

[RoarLions1]

Wrestle to seed and win the bonus point battle. Six AA's (at seed on average) can do it with enough bonus points equivalent to an "extra" AA wrestler, or about a 6-7 point advantage. Of course I'd like to see seven or eight AA's with three or more champs too .

Biggest thing to me that could derail the plan is an injury or two, so my no. 1 could easily be remain injury-free.

Are they wrestling tag team?

 

[SWPA]

Are they wrestling tag team?

No. Just about everyone else on the team is injured this year. I figure he will stay healthy and wrestle well.

Bull is clearly their best shot at a champ this year. Kem & Eierman are both talented enough to win, but they are both facing long odds to make it through the whole tournament with pretty serious injuries. ADS is also talented enough if he doesn't crack mentally, but has to deal with two of the elite wrestlers in the country seeded ahead of him in Nick and Fix. Bull also has the luxury of no Penn St wrestler in his class. LOL.
