Aside from 125, what current #1 ranked wrestler is most likely to NOT win NCAAs?

O’toole needed 2 comeback victories this past weekend , Peyton Hall really had him dead to rights and let it slip away , meanwhile Starocci is out here burying Mekhi Lewis alive

 

174 has 3 national champs in it ,Starocci just seems to have lapped the field but you can’t say a weight with 3 champs is the weakest 

 

 

It's not the weakest but Starocci is one of, if not the, strongest bet along with Brooks.

125 crapshoot

133 I'll take the senior worlds finalist for $500 Alex. Covid problem for everyone else compounded it.

141 Everyone has seen the senior lapping the field blow up a la Myles Martin

149 Lovett hasn't proven separation and his style lends him no favors in that department 

157 I don't doubt Haines/PSU but a twice torn meniscus in-season is a bear

165 Toughest bracket in the tournament. You have 30 people fighting for 4th-8th.

174 Starocci is nails.

184 See 141 except Keck is even less proven.

197 I'll take one of the best wrestlers in the world at his weight. See 133

285 Hendrickson isn't the same wrestler and likely can't beat Kerk in his current state. He is barely getting through decision matches after likely tearing out his knee when he destroyed everyone besides the big boring oak tree last year. Thank god the military dgaf about physical health and said "nah, we don't believe in MRS get out there boy Uncle Sam is gonna need you soon."

No one says it’s the weakest.  Starocci is just a lot better than everyone else

I was literally responding to a post listing the weight classes in order from toughest to weakest with 174 listed as the weakest

Sorry, missed that.  Yeah that’s wrong

To be associated with the wizardly wealth of statistical and wrestling knowledge that WKN possesses is one of my greatest achievements in life! Thought about putting Haines at the top, even though it pains me. Based on how he’s looked much of the year, I’m not sure he’ll even make the semis. It’ll get corrected 

Maybe, but he still hasn’t lost
