Didn’t the Metro qualify 19 this yr rather than 27? Centennial (11) + Metro (19) = East (30).
Jordan Kust from Stevens point 141#
I believe some of the metro teams wrestled at the Mideast regional and the rest at the east so it was probably 27
This is plain wrong, the Iowa Conference didn’t lose three qualifiers, they have been robbed of 2. 32 last season, this season they are only eligible if they swept their regional to get 30 to Nationals. They really only lost one of 30 spots, going 29/30. The NCAA made a mistake making all regional bid numbers equal, some are still clearly superior and deserve a stronger representation at Nationals.
It’s obvious from this comparison that the current region with the most ranked guys that DIDN’T make nationals is the Midwest. Again emphasizing that this regional is way overloaded. The distribution of Teams need to be fixed so that the Regionals have a more equatable distribution of top teams in each one!!
Check the results it is as if the rankings were not true
