Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) Given that he will have beaten so many higher seeds (by seeds he will have to beat the 8 Kemp, 1 Lewis, 4 Griffith and 2 Devos), including two former NCAA champs AND been one of the lowest seeds to win a NCAA title? How can that not be a shoe in for OW, if it happens this way? It would be a true underdog story! Edited March 14 by Jimmy Cinnabon 1

jchapman Posted March 14 Posted March 14 You forgot first at-large bid to place 1st. 1 Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.
RandolphTJones Posted March 14 Posted March 14 If either MM or O'Toole win 165 & finish the season undefeated and don't get OW id be flabbergasted. 2

peanut Posted March 14 Posted March 14 It would indeed be a feel-good story to see an injured kid who needed an at-large bid win it all.
Truzzcat Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I think Keegan/MM winning that weight would outdo him or Trent beating brooks. 1

All the top wrestlers are healthy and ready for battle. The winner should get outstanding wrestler award. 1

OK, in the spirit of @cowcards and his daily trivia, 24 unseeded wrestlers have won an NCAA title, but the lowest seeded wrestler to win was a #13 seed. Can you name that wrestler? There has also been one #10, one #11, and one #12. Bonus points if you can name them. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
Crotalus Posted March 14 Posted March 14 OK, in the spirit of [mention=16]cowcards[/mention] and his daily trivia, 24 unseeded wrestlers have won an NCAA title, but the lowest seeded wrestler to win was a #13 seed. Can you name that wrestler? There has also been one #10, one #11, and one #12. Bonus points if you can name them.Cody Brewer was the 13 seed. And he dominated his way through the bracket. He should have been seeded much higher, though.
Crotalus Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I think MM would have to absolutely dominate his half of the bracket, which he is capable of doing (and then beat O'Toole, of course), to have a chance at OW. Reluctantly agreeing with JC that Starocci's path is actually set up for an OW run with two former champs in the way. O'Toole's path is difficult enough to compete with that depending on who is more... outstanding...
