where is Flanagan at 165? People finally get sick of him not showing up to matches this year or is he done? I haven't heard anything.

RYou, I prefer not to look at Mr Henry's rankings at this time. I believe in his past rankings Iowa was 8 or 9th according to his "formula". No way Michigan is ranked ahead of Iowa or ISU IMO.

No, he just takes how he ranks people individualy and assigns the points as if that's how they finish at the NCAA's. IF anyone thinks Michigan is finishing 2nd to Minnesota at his years NCAA's and the don't live or didn't attend Univ. of Michigan I'll call them a Liar. In a few weeks after more Iowa wrestlers move up in the ranking they will be #1 in all rankings. And it's Egypt.

I have to agree that Iowa is #1 and I really don't read into projected points at Nationals...there youngsters are clearly improving at a faster rate than teams like Iowa State and Okie State...

Team's like Minny can only hope that it levels off at some point during the regular season and that when it comes down to it, experience pays some dividends at Big Ten's and Nationals.
