Prediction: No. 1 Matt McDonough (Iowa) over No. 2 Zach Sanders (Minnesota)
133: Jordan Oliver's only loss was to Iowa's Tony Ramos, who lost twice to Logan Stieber. All of Oliver's wins earned bonus points except his previous 7-3 win over Stieber. Oliver gets it done again.
Prediction: No. 1 Jordan Oliver (Oklahoma State) over No. 2 Logan Stieber (Ohio State)
141: Kellen Russell recently beat Montell Marion, 7-3, to win the Big Tens. He will repeat the effort here.
Prediction: No. 1 Kellen Russell (Michigan) over No. 3 Montell Marion (Iowa)
149: Frank Molinaro is an undefeated beast who dominated in the Big Ten tourney with two tech falls and a pin in less than a minute and a half. He's at the top of his game, and won't have Kyle Dake riding him throughout. I give him the nod over Jamal Parks.
Prediction: No. 1 Frank Molinaro (Penn State) over No. 2 Jamal Parks (Oklahoma State)
157: I can't get off the No. 1 seeds with Kyle Dake. The two-time NCAA champ is in a class of his own. Fleming has won 14 straight and will surprise.
Prediction: No. 1 Kyle Dake (Cornell) over No. 6 James Fleming (Clarion)
165: David Taylor has completely dominated his competition again this year, with only two wins being non-bonus affairs. Taylor will be the biggest favorite on the board. After failing in the finals last year, he won't lose this year.
Prediction: No. 1 David Taylor (Penn State) over No. 3 Andrew Sorenson (Iowa State)
174: Like David Taylor, Ed Ruth has dominated this year with an undefeated record. Amuchastegui struggled through a December injury, but has enough to beat Ruth again. I mean, not all No. 1 seeds will win, will they?
Prediction: No. 3 Nick Amuchastegui (Stanford) over No. 1 over Ed Ruth (Penn State)
184: Another match that could go either way.
Prediction: No. 1 Joe LeBlanc (Wyoming) over No. 2 over Robert Hamlin (Lehigh)
197: Golden Gopher Yohn's upset run falls short.
Prediction: No. 1 Cam Simaz (Cornell) over No. 10 Sonny Yohn (Minnesota)
285: Another Gopher falls short after Zack Rey gets his revenge over Ryan Flores.
Prediction: No. 4 Zack Rey (Lehigh) over No. 2 Tony Nelson (Minnesota)
Top Five Teams:
1. Penn State
2. Iowa
3. Oklahoma State
4. Minnesota
5. Cornell
