DI is about politics, Strawn didn't qualify...that conference only has 21 bids basically meaning Top 2 make it and then one wildcard, he didn't have a chance to wrestle for True 2nd, thus finished 3rd and did not qualify.
I know Kriegbaum at Air Force a 2x qualifier if I'm not mistaken didn't qualify this year.
A wrestler gets what he earns - placing fourth (Kriegbaum) in a very weak Regional is not worthy of a wildcard berth.
