Uh duh.
Are you talking to me? Because if you are, I just gave you the "variables". Did you not read the entire comment that I made? If the kid has wrestled over 20 of the kids on the list in matches that I witnessed first hand, then I think that I am well aware of the "variables". I think when you have two victories head to head recently, you do not need any more criteria. That is a no-brainer. Unless you have an A beat B, B beat C, C beat A thing. Additionally, if you have beaten over 10 of the kids on the list then well....I am sure that is worth mentioning and would be considered a very important "variable".
I just mentioned the state placing thing to show that rankings don't matter in the end. In the end what matters is what you do at state. That is the measure and that is how you are remembered.
But hey, thanks for the info.
