So. Would it make people happy if Ohio St was ranked the #1 dual team and PSU dropped to #2 or lower? There is no dual championship. And then when PSU beats 3 of the 4 semi finalists from this weekends NDI, they go back to #1?? Would that bring peace in our time??

125 Lilledahl vs Bouzakis [coin flip]

133 Davino DEC Blaze [last meeting Davino won] 3-0 OSU

141 Mendez MDEC Nagao [could be TF or Fall even] 7-0

149 SVN DEC Stiles 7-3

157 Cannon DEC Duke [Duke's inexperience and issues making weight factor in here] 10-3

165 Mesenbrink MDEC Gallagher 10-7

174 Haines DEC Kharchla 10-10

184 Welsh DEC Fishback 13-10 PSU

197 Mirasola Dec Shumate 16-10 PSU

HWT Feldman Dec Mirasola 16-13 PSU

 

If Bouzakis wins he could tie or even put Ohio State ahead (a pin makes it 19-16 OSU).

 

The point is this would be a very close match, and Ohio State would have a real chance of winning.

Yeah, you're such a PSU homer bro.

 

NOT.

I don't think anyone really wants or think Ohio State should be #1.  Just trolls.

You could make an argument that OSU has the most impressive resume so far this season but no one actually thinks they are better than PSU.

Cannon is a returning AA and very dangerous on top.  Duke may be great but he's yet to wrestle in college.

Remember Mark Hall vs Alex Meyer?

Cannon is NOT a returning AA.

Penn State - Ohio State - Oklahoma State by weightclass

125 1-3-8

133 14-2-11 (Blaze and Jax Forest won't be 14th and 11th)

141 10-1-2

149 1-8-13

157 Unranked-5-2 (PJ Duke won't be Unranked)

165 1-10-2

174 1-5-16

184 4-6-16

197 1-14-9

Hwt 10-3-8

Not sure if it's happening but I think you'd have to put Oklahoma St at 4 (Maybe 3) If Jax wrestles second semester.

OSU lost to Iowa, though.  How could they possibly have the best resume when the team they lost to also lost?

I was going to put Iowa in there until the Jax news came out.

I think you could put any combination of Ohio St Iowa and Oklahoma St 2-4. Really depends on who peaks at the right time. Nebraska could always get hot again too and sneak right back into the top 3.

It is almost impossible for me to wrap my mind around how a team could finish 60 points ahead of Ohio State at NCAAs, lose Ridge Lovett and almost no one else that is a huge scorer, and then lose their dual with Ohio State in such lopsided fashion.

OSU smoked them also.  But look at last year December Vegas results compared to March NCAA.

Manning needs justification for the 'running the stairs'. Shape up, I'm not the bad guy, you want that to happen again!

I attribute it to Ohio St being healthy. Plus having Bouzakis at 125 and Davino at 133 is a killer 1-2 punch. I called it at the end of last season that if Bouzakis could somehow get down and maintain 125 this is a top 3 team for 2025-26. 

Cannon also burst onto the scene late and Stiles and Fishback 2 great transfers that should help immensely. 

Also credit to the coaches, a very veteran and smart staff. These Ohio St dudes are getting after it in neutral and scoring at will.

And this is no disrespect to my boy Mendez at 141, as it is obviously at great 1-2-3 punch I was just trying to focus on the guys who changed weights or are newer starters to the team.
