Which div. is harder to win-D-1 or D-2?

[karelin]

It requires two different scenarios to win in either div.; numbers win in D-2, individual talent in D-1, or a combined state tourney. Bradley should win in D-1, but they would have a hard time winning D-2. Look how close Cleveland came to winning their region, but Bradley should pull away in the state. You can't have any weak spots in the D-2 race. It appears I have attempted to answer my own question.

that can be summed up like this:

 

TO WIN in Div I or Div II individual tourny is often the same.

 

TO PLACE in Div. I is MUCH MUCH more challenging than Div. II.

 

In other words, the best DII can go with the best DI. However, the 4th or 3rd place guy in DII is likely not nearly as good as DI. 5th and 6th in DII is a JOKE!!!! They really should only have 3 places in DII.

As usual...another Div I, Div II...public or private debate.

I vote Div II.

panfan,

 

u are right on the money. i can site many examples where this is true. out here in the west, the ranked cbhs kids lose to unranked D1 kids all the time. however, i think D2 would scrape by with a win if all the first place wrestlers went at it. what a match it would be.

I'll take D1 at 275lb. Any of the top 7 or 8.

Div. 1 is a lot harder than Div. 2 because there is more competition to wrestle so you have to be better. And just look at the rankings Bradley #1, Cleveland #2, than the private schools. But the only way to really know which is harder is to wrestle them all together.
