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.
This is classic. Look back on the All-Class thread on 2/19/10 for the real story. I feel like a first grade teacher having to repeat myself. Hear this..... Head to head is the very first criteria when TWO wrestlers are involved! When a third wrestler or more enters the mix, everything changes. Powercat tried as hard as he could to overlook losses to other wrestlers to benefit his son, Josh Bush from Leavenworth. The bias overcame him and here we are three years later and he cannot grasp the logic.
Your take on the Geary/Butler ranking is pathetically false. As I have stated in hundreds of conversations, Will Geary won the only folkstyle match they had ever wrestled. Had that match never happened and the only match was the Freestyle match in May, I would have ranked Butler #1. How easy is that? That's wrestling 101. Nathan was wrestling for KCTC. That's why he wrestled for their team. Why would I have a problem with that? Reece Wright-Conklin also wrestled for them. I ranked him #1.
Powercat, I would be glad to make it even clearer for you. Call my cell at 913-484-3624 or introduce yourself at any tournament you see me at.
