Big XII AQ Spot Predictions
OK, so maybe I'm jumping the gun a little on this one but in looking long range at what the New Big XII could expect for AQ Spots at this year's Big XII Tournament I have comprised my guess at this point of the season of how many we can expect. I hope BigBird and Andrege can add to this since they usually have a little more insight on these things than I do but here is what I think at this point of the season.
125 4-5 AQ Spots with at this point of the season I think it's a solid 4
133 3-4 AQ Spots with a Solid 3, I think this can go to 4 prior to end of the season
141 4-5 AQ Spots with a Solid 4 at this point of the game
149 2-3 AQ Spots with a Solid 2 at this point but I wouldn't be surprised to see this number go up to 4
157 3-4 AQ Spots with a Solid 3 at this point, again here I expect to see this number at around 4
165 4-5 AQ Spots with a Solid 4 at this point but this number could go to 5 pretty easy
174 3-4 AQ Spots with a Solid 3 at this point
184 1-2 AQ Spots, this weight is going to be a tough one when it comes to AQ spots
197 4-5 AQ Spots with a Solid 4 at this point with a good possibility of that 5th spot
285 1-2 AQ Spots, at this point another problem weight to get qualified at in my opinion
Re: Big XII AQ Spot Predictions
It's early, but this is how I see it (Locks=will get one, probable=75% chance, Borderline=50% and rest of the season will determine, longshot=25% max):
125- 4 Locks: Lamont UVU, Piccinninni OkSt, Schwarm UNI, Moisey WVU. 1 Probable: Moody OU. 2 Borderline: Bianchi NDSU and Brown SDSU
133- 3 Locks: Gross SDSU, Bridges WYO, Brock OkSt. 1 Probable: Montoya UNC. 3 Borderline: Schmitt WVU, Sykora NDSU, Parker ISU. 2 longshot: Rubio OU and Jiminez AFA
141- 3 Locks: Meredith Wyo, Heil OkSt, and Alber UNI. 1 Probable: Longo OU. 1 Borderline: Storr ISU. 1 Longshot: Monserrat WVU
149- 2 Locks: OkSt starter (Probably Geo), and Thomsen UNI. 3 Probable: Degen ISU, Gliva NDSU, and Jefferies OU. 2 Borderline: Olivas FSU and Fate UNC. 2 Longshot: Lamont UVU and Turner Wyo.
157- 3 Locks: Ream NDSU, Zilverberg SDSU, Colgan WYO. 0 Probable. 2 Borderline (although I wouls put Mossing AFA here too): Thomas OU and Blaylock OkSt. Longshot: Moore WVU
165- 4 Locks: Rogers OSU, Fogarty NDSU, Ashworth WYO, Romero UVU. 2 Probable: Torres UNC and Barnes OU. 0 Borderline
174- 4 Locks: Lujan UNI, Smith OkSt, Kocer SDSU, Mejias OU. 0 Probable. 1 Borderline: Bastian UVU. 1 Longshot: Pope Wyo
184- 1 Lock: Foster UNI. 2 Probable: Moore OkSt and Gabel UNC. 1 Borderline: Mueller SDSU. 1 Longshot: Jantzer UVU
197- 4 Locks (although if OkSt let Marsden keep wrestling duals here and then entered Weigel for B12 time, it would be 5): Rotert SDSU, Holschlag UNI, Seeley UNC, Smith WVU. 0 Probable. 1 Possible: Orndorff UVU. 1 Longshot: Eaton NDSU
HWT- 1 Lock: White OkSt. 1 Probable: Dennison UVU. 0 Borderline. 3 Longshots: Harrington ISU, Stibral NDSU, Isley UNI
I just did this very quickly so I probably missed some guys.
I think you're pretty close with all of it, although I have the B12 getting more than you at most weights.
One big thing that is preventing clarity, is the minimum D1 match number. At this point in the season, a lot of good wrestlers don't yet have 17 matches vs D1 competition at the given weight, which is required to earn an AQ spot
Re: Big XII AQ Spot Predictions
I missed AJ Nevills Fresno State HWT, who is 50-50 to earn a spot.
Drake Foster made a huge jump and he's probably at a little less than 50% to earn one

I came across this on twitter. It breaks down a change in the AQ Process.

Flo's predictions. 40 spots for the B12 https://www.flowrestling.org/article...n-flowrestling
I believe the actual allocations come out on the 22nd. If Flo is correct, 133 sucks. Brock, bridges, and Gross are heavy favorites and all top 10 guys. Getting a 4th there would be huge for Cam Sykora.

I think we could still get 4 or even 5 AQ spots at 133. I'm basing this on the last RPI and Coaches Panel, so I'm not factoring in how those might have changed. Nobody on either of those lists was affected by too few matches for RPI. I'm not sure that I have accounted the winning percentage correctly, because I didn't go out of my way to adjust for D1 redshirts. With all of that in said, they could slide the thresholds to 27-27-73, which would qualify 27 guys, plus 1 for SoCon. They want to leave at least 4 at large spots, and this would leave 5. They could probably even slide it to 28-28-72, which would pick up the 5th spot for Big 12.
27-27-73
Big12: 4

EIWA: 3
ACC: 5
MAC: 4
Pac12: 2

SoCon: 1 (not qualified)

Re: Big XII AQ Spot Predictions
At first glance, this is great.
HWT is really the only weight I can quibble with at first glance.
Iowa State earned 1 AQ spot for the conference.
197 is going to be a real meat grinder. Jake Smith and Sammy Colbray didn't earn spots, but they'll definitely be in the mix for a spot.
