armbar101 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 i think rangers rankings are always good rankings when it comes to top 10. anything past that is debatable but the top 8 is all that matters so, good job ranger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually both rankings are pretty biased.If you have one person doing the rankings there are certain to be some biases due to human nature. I would encourage any competitor to ignore all rankings anyway. As we've seen in this years state tournament if you ignore them you may end up being an unexpected champ. Just ask Corey Spencer and Justin Davis, and soem of the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh_Claywell 52 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 Rangers towards Campbell County and KWCA towards EasternYou know, it's attitudes like this that I simply cannot stand. Ranger doesn't have to publish his rankings like he does each week (which is better than what the KWCA does). But I'm guessing he does out of love for the sport.If you don't like where he has your or a teammate ranked, you know what you've gotta do: Go out and beat the kid in front of you. It's as simple as that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pridewrestler 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 I like rangers rankings, he doesn't seemed biased towards campbell. Its hard if you coach a team and do the rankings. I still say we should use rangers at state. KWCA were all jacked up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MatMama 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 I like rangers rankings, he doesn't seemed biased towards campbell. Its hard if you coach a team and do the rankings. I still say we should use rangers at state. KWCA were all jacked upSo KWCA picked 2/3 of the state champions correctly, which Ranger picked half. KWCA correctly named 54% of all finalists while Ranger named 60%. So, as Wish said, they're very close, with KWCA being better at predicting the champs and Ranger slightly better at picking a larger field. Yet KWCA were "all jacked up." That makes a lot of sense.

MrClean 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 Maybe the two should get together and combine their opinions. Perhaps they would even things out. It really is hard for one person to be objective on the whole state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
overweight 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 I think it was discussed last year about teaming up, great idea, would probably be better than most rankings available to any high school wrestlers and fans of wrestling. KWCA will rank everyone that is still in school next year in the order they finished this year, then usually changes much from there, based on history,,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisionQuest 64 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 The KWCA does a good job rankng the wrestlers. I am assuming Coach Coomes goes by what happened the past year and what imput he gets from the coaches which is limited at best. Ranger rankings are more up to date. I prefer Ranger"s rankings.

armbar101 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 yes exactly rangers are more up to date and are better at putting people where they wrestle. KWCA rankings have people at like 140 that are wrestling 160 so rangers are better at putting people wehre they go . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archibaldhumperdink 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 True more up to date. but the coaches is pretty good at narrowing down the top few at each weight class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
