It seems...I don't want to say unfair because that sounds whiny....how about "unjust" if McDonough and Precin lose out on seeding for the sole reason that they had to face each other 3 (and now 4, in the hypo) times while the other guys are undefeated and haven't have to face them at all.

Maybe Iowa should have gone to some bigger tournaments? Just saying...

The funny thing is this: If they give Robles the 1 seed for being undefeated, won't they have to give Nicholson the 2? He's also undefeated. That's when it really gets hairy.

So you could see a few diff scenarios

Mcd
Robles
Precin
Nicholson

or
Robles
nicholson
mcd
precin

or
robles
mcd
nicholson
precin
Each Scenario has Mcd facing Nicholson in the semis.

And wrestling Iowa's "cream puff" schedule, McD still has wrestled tougher opposition, especially in regards to seeding. Beating Precin twice and beating Sanders is better than anything Robles has done for seeding purpose. BTW, McD was at the Midlands and so were a bunch of Arizona State guys...Robles wasn't sent, though. Weird.

What won't make sense to me is if you put so much stock in the matches between McDonough and Precin that you give McDonough the #1 based off the he's the returning champ and only lost to Precin idea, and then you give Robles the #2.

I don't see how you can give Robles the #2 with Precin being a 2x AA who has only lost to McDonough if you're using the matches between Precin and McDonough to justify McDonough getting the #1.

Personally I think it'll be a complete joke if Robles doesn't get the #1, but given how Oliver got boned over seeding wise last year to split up the Big 10 guys I expect they'll give McD the #1 and Robles the #2 which will make utterly no sense.

You may want to go take a look at the Midlands brackets, because this is straight up incorrect.

I just went and counted at least 6 guys from Arizona State. How many more do I need to qualify?

Not one of whom was a starter, which is what I was getting at when I was saying your initial post insinuating that the Arizona State some how ducked McDonough and Precin was incorrect.
