Cmon use that SDSU education and look at who each lost to. It isn't that hard to figure out. OKlahoma lost to #'s 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,16, SDSU lost to 8 teams ranked worse than #16.

I haven't looked too closely (or at all) at how the dual rankings are formulated, so maybe I'm just missing something? When you say "who they lost to", what are you referring to? Projected losses?

You are correct sir.

Thanks for the explanation guys. Not trying to be a homer, it just seems like SDSU is ranked low compared to actual results and compared to other national team rankings. Individually, SDSU wrestlers are ranked lower than almost any other ranking I've seen as well. I was just curious how things were calculated.

It's a computer calculation so it's not perfect. If you compare SDSU and OU they still have SDSU losing the dual by 8. So it's not perfect, just fun to get a ballpark where guys are at. I personally like it mostly for comparing common opponents between wrestlers before they meet.

Agreed. I use the dual matchups prior to almost every dual I watch...it's a great tool for that aspect.
