He's the #1 Jim.

Lilledahl won the only time they've wrestled. And I didn't say your predictions were wrong.. Edit: @MPhillips's TM'd

Picking the favorite in every match.

eh.. that was primarily the covid year where a wrestler needed a minimum match count to be eligible for the post-season, but sure.

I get the rules, but even going to an extreme where someone makes weight after weigh-ins.. it's the furthest thing from an advantage (not the case here). Having less time to recover, having more recently been cutting weight, etc. Isn't helpful. I'll die on the hill that Jamison being able to wrestle (which resulted in an incredible upset) is far more valuable than DQ'ing a competitor that missed skin checks but still weighed in on time.

That's pretty bold..

As mentioned, Bastida, Feldman, Trumble, Hopke, Attao, Mullens.. Not sure why Kueter would be a favorite outside of corn-colored glasses.

I agree, but I also can't remember the last time that PSU lost three matches where they were favored in a single round of a tournament. Bartlett doesn't get upset, SVN was a massive favorite, and Barr's crazy upward trajectory had me thinking he would improve on his past performance against Cardenas. That being said, this just puts PSU closer to mortal status than they have been over a number of years where it seemed like they were essentially upset proof. These losses just shake up NCAA seeds and should create an even more exciting tournament in two weeks.

Remember when you predicted him to AA?

Stop with this. It's not the end of the world to have a 1 or 2 year rebuild. Mizz has great recruits coming in and will be just fine. Two years from now they'll have a great line-up and could be back to a trophy contending team.

Before the finals.. might I add.

I haven't been following college wrestling as long as many of you here, but this is by far the craziest conference weekend I can recall in the last 15 years. As I mentioned in the main B1G thread, @Wrestleknownothing will undoubtedly have some great data in the upcoming week on this topic. I was telling my wife during B12s how crazy the results have been, and that was before any of the B1G results which might be even more shocking. Even Sparks and Gibbons seem to be flabbergasted by what has taken place.

I vote McMax?

The hot takes keep on coming.

I was just joking. There are just too many OSU's.

He's wrestling at Oregon State?

He really is. Useless "crossfaces" (forearm punches) on top, bouncing head off the mat as he releases.. he knows the details of Iowa Style. Jokes aside, he would make a great villain as a hawkeye. He is like an evolution of Metcalf, which is an extremely high complement to his wrestling, and real statement about his style.

These results are looking straight out of a satirical blog. Bless @ILLINIWrestlingBlog.

Today has been crazy right? It's not just me forgetting how these tournaments usually go?

Sausage brain. Wrestling overload following both tournaments today haha.

@Wrestleknownothing I can't wait to see your comparisons of these B1G and B12 conference tourneys compared to normal deviation from seeds

1, 2, 3 all go down. Mendez now has losses to both Hardy and Bartlett.. Bartlett loses to Vombaur.. Vombaur lost to Koderhandt.. Happel with losses to Tagg and Schwartz.. Jamison with losses to Happel, Mendez, and Frost.. the seeding speculation is going to keep me entertained for the next two weeks.

That was on me. My excitement got my fingers moving faster than my head and I put McNeil and Williams in the seeds at 141.

Maybe the new #1 weight to watch at NCAAs after this mayhem.

141 seeding is going to be wild after this weekend.
