Psu falls...

[Chigachanuk]

If you only reference expected champions, like you seem to have largely done, then upsets can happen easily.  But you didn't look into the number of PSU wrestlers that will do well in the brackets, all american or better, and that's where the points are.  PSU will win by an unsurmountable spread.  Even if NO CHAMPIONS.

Yes, all of those individual results could happen.  But the chances that they all do, or even most, strikes me as very small.

Even more to the point is that what you're talking about is a team collectively underachieving to about their worst possible individual results, when in fact this isn't some random program but rather the school that for 15 years has been doing the exact opposite.

There are definitely programs who frequently before NCAAs whom you look at it and think, if everything goes right for them, they could challenge for a top 2 or 3 finish, and then they usually underperform and end up 10th.  Whereas this program time after time exceeds expectations, expectations which are the highest.

And BTW the fact that the OP hasn't immediately taken a FIFTY TO ONE bet says it all.  The combined chances of a virus, injuries, plane crash, Dan Gable coming back to coach for two weeks, or the PSU AD pouring through all the old postings on this board and concluding that the entire athletic program has to be shut down because of Sandusky might add up to 2%, and none of those are even factored into the OP.

Psu scenario to fall at NCAAs and not as crazy as you think.

125 no aa

133 no aa

141 Bartlett gets taken in the early rounds by having no offense or  by Hardy, Allrez or Mendez in the semis.

149 Vanness gets taken out early as he's use to being on his back at Ncaas 

157 kassak gasses out(his gas tank is subpar) in the quarters or semis.

165 champ

174 Haines takes an L to Hamiti or Karson K in the quarters.

184 Parker beats starocii. Don't sleep on the Minnesota 184 pounder in the semis.

197 Barr takes an L to Cardenas in the quarters 

285 Kerk takes an L to the Great American Hero in the semis

 

Only see Penn state with 1 lock for a champion, they are not as top heavy as they use to be. 

3/10 troll.

Wait until you get his Nebraska predictions.

It isn't so much trolling as putting it into the universe to see if it happens.

Hammer gave ja 50:1 odds and he won’t take it?! Wow, yeah that shows the lack of confidence involved more than anything, this was nothing but drivel.

Just another PSU fan that things their team can't ever be beat. I'm most excited to see Bartlett or should I say Stallartell fall early since he doesn't know how to get more than 1 takedown a match. Wrestles like a heavyweight at 141 pounds 

The lame line of attack you took is WAAAAAY off. 

Just say you don't have the balls to take a bet.

[Caveira]

This won’t surprise people.  I don’t like psu.  I will be rooting against cstall every Match and will celebrate if he does not win a 5th title for many reasons.   He is the only one on the team I have this level of disdain for but…….

psu will win the NCAAs.  They will not be challenged.  It may be over Friday night / Saturday morning.   If betting lines are decent I would consider $yuck$ betting psu to win

I said scenario.  They are only heavily favored in 1 weight class

May be, but Iowa is the only realistic #2 and PSU is heavily favored to crush them at several weights

No other team will come within 50 points of Penn State at NCAAs. B1G will be closer than NCAAs, but PSU will win that easily as well.

165 24

174 17

184 18

197 9

285 17

 

Even with this doomsday scenario, they are still looking at around 125 points and a likely championship
