Returning champ McDonough successfully defends his title and ends Cinderella season by Robles.
133: No. 1 Jordan Oliver (Oklahoma State) over No. 2 Andrew Hochstrasser (Boise State)
Oliver has won by at least a major decision in 21 of his 24 matches this year. He beat Hochstrasser 5-2 a month ago. Expect a similar result when they meet in the finals.
141: No. 1 Kellen Russell (Michigan) over No.3 Boris Navochkov (Cal Poly)
Russell finally gets over the hump and wins his first NCAA title.
149: No. 4 Kyle Dake (Cornell) over No. 2 Frank Molinaro (Penn State)
Dake defeats an out-of-shape and disinterested Caldwell in the semis and has no problem beating Molinaro in the finals. Don't lose.
157: No. 3 David Taylor (Penn State) over No. 4 Bubba Jenkins (Arizona State)
Freshman phenom and Cael-clone Taylor is too much for super talented Jenkins. Bad blood between Jenkins and former coach Sanderson will make for an interesting storyline.
165: No. 1 Jordan Burroughs (Nebraska) over No. 2 Andrew Howe (Wisconsin)
Burroughs wins battle of two former national champions. Burroughs is too athletic for Pritzlaff protégé.
174: No. 3 Mack Lewnes (Cornell) over No. 1 Jon Reader (Iowa State)
Lewnes rebounds from disappointing performance in Omaha and wins first NCAA title.
184: No. 4 Travis Rutt (Wisconsin) over No. 7 Chris Perry (Oklahoma State)
Perry falls in footsteps of older brother Mark by peaking at the right time but hungry Badger Rutt wins wide-open weight class.
197: No. 1 Cam Simaz (Cornell) over No. 2 Clayton Foster (Oklahoma State)
Simaz comes through and wins title for the Big Red, but it's not enough to catch Iowa in the team race.
285: No. 1 Zach Rey (Lehigh) over No. 3 Ryan Flores (American)
Rey has been the benefactor of tremendous coaching throughout his high school and college career. He avenges first and only loss of the season by defeating Flores to win his first NCAA title.
Top Five Teams:
1. Iowa
2. Cornell
3. Penn State
4. Oklahoma State
5. Minnesota
