New dual rankings come out today. These will determine who wrestles where for regional duals. I don't agree with many of the prior rankings done by coaches. They don't look at results, team records, etc. They rank teams ahead of teams who have beaten them. I think each class almost needs a committee who will actually look over results so we can agree we have the best 8 teams hosting.

I think a combination of Committee vote and Coach vote would probably a little bit better of a system. Duels are very hard to judge and you have to look at the body of work a team has accomplished. With the big schools who are solid at 14 weights a straight up win over another team means a lot. When you get into the smaller schools who have 4-6 dudes and then the rest are pin or get pinned kids, two teams could match up horribly and a "worse" team could beat the "better" team. I am not saying that happens very often but it can, especially taking into consideration who a team is missing on the night of a loss and how the duel would play out differently had those wrestlers been in the lineup.
I think the bottom line is that the top 8 usually find their way to the state tournament no matter who is deciding the rankings. Also no matter what the system is it will never be perfect, using a sectional tournament to determine duels was not perfect and this way is not either. We will see how this plays out I guess haha.
