Ask Bob, Ban &/or Jimmy.

[Hillbilly Jim]

I will start.  I think Ohio St. will finish higher than this ranking and Arizona St. will finish a bit lower simply due to numbers of NQ's.....

ASU probably qualifies more wrestlers for ncaa this year than last.

I think it’s flying under the radar just how much the 3 point takedown is going to benefit ASU.

By the way,  friends,  Ionel has me on "ignore," and,  like NHS, holds such a strong obsession with me that he still invokes me all day,  every day.  But,  I digress...

...No one wise takes a bet with me because of the one thing that my Dad taught me:  never make a bet that you won't win. 

In other words,  Bob fell for my sucker bet, changed the conditions of the bet, we both didn't agree to these final conditions,  and for almost twenty years has cried that he won,  culminating in the assemblage of a kangaroo court to harbor sympathy for his lost cause. 

Nice summary for those who still haven't voted (and even those that did).

So,  no,  unless you want to part with some cash,  DON'T ask me.

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Iowa will definitely finish higher than 8th.

[Bigbrog]

Unfortunately I agree with Jimmy

Where are you seeing these markets? There are a few I would be interested in betting.

There's an entirely different thread on this very topic.

So you come here looking for free help with betting markets, but will not say where they are?

Sure I will help. But you will have to decide if you should bet based on what I tell you....or the opposite of what I tell you.

Relax man--I never said anything about "betting markets"...those are your words.  I just meant amongst friends dude...like your Mom.

I'd bet on Oregon State to finish higher than 20th, where you have them slotted.

Legitimate AA threats for the Beavs. 

     125: Kaylor   165: Olguin   174: Wittlake   184: Munoz   285: McDermott

3 of these guys have already AA'ed in their careers.  As a Beav homer I would add more of the OSU lineup to this list.  However,  I think it would be hard for anyone to argue that the 5 I mentioned above aren't legit threats to be on the podium.

Good call--these are intermat's rankings from before Wittlake's transfer though.  Not sure if they will be updated by when the season starts.....

McDermott is not an AA threat in my estimation. He has never beaten anyone that has sniffed the podium.

You just ruined my day! 

Beavs vs. the world!  I have faith in Pendleton and company.

On the flip side Cleveland Belton has shown that he has the ability to beat AA level wrestlers such as Parker Fillius (7th) and Malyke Hines (R12). If he can get more consistent he could make the jump to an AA threat.

Best bet I'd make is Ohio State.  That is a really low point total and I think 133 and 141 for Ohio State are going to go very deep at nationals.  That leaves 8 other weight classes to contribute points.  By my estimates, Ohio State will place 3 - 6 this year.

Imagine Sasso back in the lineup. It would take a miracle at this point, I just hope he gets healthy
