4/7/2015 174 Notes

I’m including this note in every set of rankings because I think it’s important that people read this to get my perspective. As you know I always have put a premium on looking at the whole picture. While I give tremendous weight to NCAA’s I’ll never be completely beholden to them. I’m not taking away anyone’s All-American medal, nor am I implying that they aren’t deserving of the placement they achieved. I’m simply looking at all the information I have and am giving it value. Placing 4th at NCAA’s does not necessarily mean you had the 4th best collection of wins and losses. Yes, that could even include you being behind someone you beat head to head at NCAA’s. I’m not telling you how to think, I’m telling you how I think. 

One blemish on Kokesh's resume isn't enough for Wilps to pass him.  Kokesh downed Brown twice this year and only fell to Wilps.  Crutchmer makes a huge leap, but stays behind Storley who he lost to. Storley stays behind Evans, who beat him. It's possible that Epperly belongs ahead of Crutchmer, but I'm not so sure.  That was a tough one for me. Julson gets a large bump after his AA finish.  Wins over Martin and Cousins only buy you so much stock.  Especially when you consider his losses to Schneider, McCulley, Martin and Kastl.
