The first of three coaches surveys was released for D1. Each weight class is ranked. The ranked wrestlers listed are the most likely to qualify for nationals based on the new system.
Buckeyes have 9 with only 197 unqualified. Dave Rella is on the bubble at 174.
I don't claim to be an expert on this system. These rankings are one of the tools that will be used to determine qualification. I also believe that a strong showing at conference tourneys is another qualifying tool. But top seven at Big Tens will no longer be automatic.

Kent currently has six ranked guys: 125, 133, 141, 184, 197, 285.
CSU has Goff--the old days of placing top 3-4 out of 7 at the EWL's are gone. EWL had a good thing going with the old system. Maybe Jordan Keller can work his way in. He's done a nice job.
OU has Ison. Lindsey has been hampered due to injury. He needs some wins and a good conference tourney.

Hank - there is a quick description on TheMat, I will try to find the thread and post.
Each person in the top 25 gets your conference a qualifying spot, so these wrestlers will each need to qualify.
If your conference does not have a qualifying spot, only the champ would get an automatic bid.
This would use current data to get 250 (approx) qualifiers. From there a selection comittee would select the remaining wild cards to total 33 in each class.
I think this could help the MAC a great deal.
On OU - I see Schuth was ranked for the first time this week in Wreslting Report. I see Schuth, Weinkam, Ison, and Lindsey as all possible entries in this top 25 once they get some more matches under their belt.

try to figure it out all u want, but we wont know if new system makes sense or not
until we see WHO IS IN & WHO IS OUT
, then we will know.
right now i'm a but confused, no college coach can fully explain to me
how one of the 3 criterias, RPI, is calculated
. That bothers me.
i have to think this system was inaugurated to give more Quals to the "have nots", i.e. among others but esp the ACC who has ALOT OF INFLUENCE with NCAA bigwigs. Yes they do, heres why, ACC brings in BIG revenue in football and esp basketball to NCAA.
ACC complained about their measly 14 Quals and it got results. i have heard ACC said, well why should we support wrestling if we not getting represented ????
BOTTOM LINE: thers alot going on that is behind closed doors, we will have to see how it shakes out to determine if it works and is fair. I reserve judgement.
