All the ALL CLASS means for most is speculation as most ranked kids here will not have the opportunity to wrestle the others in their weights because of the tournaments their schools are booked in. As a rule the larger schools get "favortisim" over the smaller schools. Generaly speaking because I have only been to 2 tournaments this year, the overall talent is lower than normal this year as alot of quality kids graduated with none to replace them. Also, Chief uses summer wrestling in the other styles when ranking wrestlers and the further West you get in the state the harder it is to make the commitment to the "National" events. Be it farm or travel time or whatever.
Well I don't know about "speculation" as you say but definitely prediction. But that's all rankings ever are anyway aren't they. And there is no "favortism" as you claim. "Summer" wrestling is a factor at the beginning of the season but once the action gets started it's settled on the high school folkstyle mats. There are plenty of opportunities for Chief to make very valid comparisons and accurate rankings.
