It doesn't really matter assuming they wrestle each other this weekend but how does Intermat explain this given that All-Star match results aren't supposed to influence rankings?
Locks:
Iowa @ 125 - 6 for Lee
PSU @ 133 - 3 for RBY
Iowa @ 149 - 3 for Murin
PSU @ 174 - 3 for CStar
PSU @ 184 - 3 for Brooks
So 9-9 based on locks, assuming no further bonus.
Toss-up:
141: but Woods favored
157: only if Haines wrestles, otherwise Iowa strong favorite
165: but Kennedy favored
197: Dean slight favorite
HWT: Cass favored based on recent results
