Head to head means nothing to Chief, at least it didn't use to, a few years ago my son was ranked BELOW a kid that my son had beaten the only 2 times they wrestled. And since I called him on it he quickly told me that it had to do with common opponets. So I was left feeling that head to head match up really don't matter

Just look at the first page of this thread, where I questioned the fact that Geary was ranked ahead of Butler even though Butler had the better resume, Butler has the better FS/GR resume but I was told that since Geary didn't wrestle FS/GR it didn't matter, Geary had beaten Butler 4-3 in their only head to head in folkstyle, even tho Butler beat Geary pretty handily in FS a few months later. Even FLO,on the national level, had Butler #8 and Geary #15
I feel that Geary got the #1 spot in the pre-season all class simply because he wrestled for Chiefs Renegades at the Wrestling Central Freestyle Duals and Butler choose to wrestle for KCTC.
I have given up on the rankings as there is a lot of bias that goes on.
But like I said before these are Chiefs rankings and he can do them how ever he wants, I fully expect to get flamed for this post but I really don't care this is how I feel.

Then technically Reese Cokeley should still be under Elbrader as he did pin him, the only head to head. I understand that wrestlers occasionally have a bad day, get sick, or just off the day of wrestling. Is it possible that this was the case when Reese won against Mies?

Lets try weighing in inconsistency into this equation and then you will come up with your answer.

Refer back to smokey cabins post and you will see.

When you come to these dilemmas, as a ranker I would think you just have to use common sense. Look at records, look at consistency, and ponder the styles subject. Some guys just beat some styles. From an outsider looking in on this, it would be odd. This 120 class is tough. I watched Price dominate the 321a no4 who beat the 321a no.1 the same day. And i dont even think he is ranked all class, so it is tough.IMO Gentzler, Mies, Cokeley etc. JMO

So what Chief, speaking to you on the phone or in person is going to magically make your skewed logic make sense? I doubt it, your logic didn't make sense then and here, 3 years later and dozens of rankings later, it still makes no sense. 1 head to head victory gives Geary the edge but 2 head to head victories didn't for Josh, yeah that makes perfect sense. Now lets apply your ranking logic to the NFL, even tho the Baltimore Ravens beat New England 2 times this season they lost to Houston, who in turn lost to New England, so using your logic New England is clearly the better team, because once you add that third team in there the head to head match-ups go out the window. Your right it's all crystal clear now.

Okay i hear everyone agrument but it still does not qualify Cokeley over Leach ranking . they have 4 common opponents and with leach only lossing to one of them and Cokeley lossing to all of them . Leach only havs 3 loss on the year. why does the one match qualify oover all the others.
