WrestleStat Rankings - Week 2 2020

Only 2nd week, so many upsets; and with projected starters still out, that changes the dual rankings as well.

With Austin O'Connor now out with injury, Sammy Sasso is now your #1 at 149, and the redshirt freshman has looked fantastic this season.

Kendall Coleman continues his rise up to #11 at 157.

Jackson Turley (165) of Rutgers made a 50-spot leap after a good performance at the Journeyman, as well as Harvard's Phillip Conigliaro moving up 48 spots after his Bearcat Open performance.

And at 285, Tate Orndorff moved up 7 spots after his 2 top-10 wins over the weekend to come in at #5.

In our dual rankings, with Penn State holding out a couple projected starters, they ended up falling to #2 in the rankings, while Iowa moved into the top spot despite not having wrestled any matches yet this season. Although, the tournament rankings stayed pretty much the same because of their firepower at the top.

***Official ISU Bowl Predictions***

Alright this is for ISU bowl game destination predictions.

Give me your predictions! (You don't have to go full Big 12 but I thought I would.)

I see 7 bowl eligible teams from the Big 12. WVU, Tech and Kansas will not go bowling. TCU will get two more wins and become bowl eligible by beating Tech and WVU.

OU: in the Sugar Bowl (12-1)
Baylor: in Alamo Bowl (10-3)
Texas: Camping World Bowl (8-4)
Iowa State: Academy Sports Outdoors Texas Bowl (7-5)
KState: Liberty Bowl (8-4)
Okie St Cheeze It Bowl (8-4)
TCU First Responders Bowl (6-6)

This will shake out differently if there is some sort of chaos and OU makes it to the playoff. I'd wager that ISU, barring some sort of meltdown, will be in Camping World Bowl or Academy Sports Outdoors Texas Bowl.

Volleyball RPI thru 11/24

ISU currently at #38. Next match is against #26 OU on Friday night in Ames. Arguably, the biggest match of the season so far in terms of NCAA tourney implications and the quest to finish 3rd behind UT and BU:

Did not watch the KSU sweep on Saturday but noticed in the box score that Anderson played the 2nd DS. That now makes 2 former OHs playing back row spots only with Schuler being the other.

Defensive In Game Adjustments

I was bored this morning waiting for the good basketball news and looked up some defensive yards allowed stats in the last two conference losses.

The yards allowed by quarter for the last two losses are:

Oklahoma State
1st Q 117
2nd Q 179
3rd Q 98
4th Q 8

Total 402

Oklahoma
1st Q 220
2nd Q 154
3rd Q 100
4th Q 25

Total 499

It is probably somewhat related to conservative play calling by them when they are ahead, but it also has to be the adjustments we made at halftime.

I never played college football. My question for those that know, is it really hard to make adjustments to scheme and plan before you get a break at halftime?

2nd quarters seem to have really hurt us this year.
