125:  Spratley DEC Ventresca (3-0 OKST)

133:  Witcraft DEC McGonagle (6-0 OKST)

141:   Jamison DEC Latona (9-0 OKST)

149:  Henson DEC Young (9-3 OKST)

157:  Hipolito DEC Fish (9-6 OKST)

165:  Amine DEC Church (12-6 OKST)

174:  Hamiti DEC Wolak (15-6 OKST)

184:  Plott TECH Stewart (20-6 OKST)

197:  Surber DEC Smith (23-6 OKST)

285:  Hendrickson TECH Mullen (28-6 OKST)

 

Several matches (bolded) could go either way and I tend to lean Ok St at home for those. Of the 5 matches that I think have a high-probability winner, 4 of those go to Ok St, so Tech has a tougher road to victory, but it's entirely possible. McGonagle has been out for a month and Wolak sat out CKLV. If they don't wrestle, it will be that much tougher.

I have it 33-4 in favor of OSU, with the win coming via Major at 149lbs.

As a VT fan, I hope you are way wrong. Honestly though, there are lots of toss up matches that could go wrong and tilt the score to a lopsided loss for VT. If VT can get by without giving up bonus points at 184 and hvy, that would help but TJ is 0-5 and Plott is a dawg, he might be lucky to hold it to a MD

The VT style guide lists their official color as Chicago Maroon, as in University of Chicago Maroons.

A dawg?

He only beat Schultz 11-5 and I feel like Mullen is probably in a similar boat. I think it’s a major but not more than that.  Could get proven wrong of course

[MPhillips]

You believe Mullen and Schultz are equal?

If he doesn’t get caught underneath Wyatt and can get off bottom, he can probably keep it close. Jimmy is good in neutral too but gives up the strength and experience advantage. It’s good for Jimmy to scrap with him now because they’ll likely meet in March

I'll go out on a limb and bet he is caught underneath at some point.

It’s likely to happen. Jimmy is a freshman who split time between football and wrestling most of his career. Now that he’s wrestling full time, he’s likely to make a level jump soon. He’ll hit some bumps with the top tier guys but he’s athletic and a pinner in his own right. Doubtful he’ll stick Wyatt but he has a puncher’s chance to make it interesting 

[RawDog]

Hendrickson looks incredible and I think he wrecks Mullen. Also Latona has wins over Vito and Mendez. That match should be bolded as you never know what's gonna happen with Latona.
