I get the message and it sounds good. I'm sure Aquinas and Lansing both have guys who would qualify no matter what regional they were in.
What I'm saying is that based on the team rankings, the Aquinas regional has only 1 ranked team while the others have many, up to 4. If Aquinas has ANY varsity wrestlers that aren't ranked, they would theoretically be more likely to qualify out of that regional. If Aquinas has ranked wrestlers, it's probably less likely the could be upset. It's not a negative statement. It's no different than saying Basehor is a tough tournament to place in, while another tourn typically may not be.
It also doesn't make sense that Lansing would go to Emporia vs Aquinas if distance or balance were considered.
