285 - Nathan Butler(K) dec over Will Geary 4-0, 1-1 @ Wrestling Central Freestyle Duals 05/19/2012
Both 2012 high school 6A state champions Butler @220 and Geary @ 285. Butler 2012 ASICS FILA freestyle National Champion @ 275 2012 ASICS FILA Greco National Runner-up @ 275. 2012 ASICS/USAW Folkstyle Nationals 3rd place @ 285
So a 1 point victory in folkstyle supersedes not only a pretty impressive freestyle victory but also all of Butler's National accomplishments? Is Butlers #2 ranking simply because he was 220 last year and Geary was 285? Seems to me that Butler has had more National success and has faced better competition. Using the 5 factors you listed at the top of this thread, 1. is a tie 2,3,5 go to Butler.
