  1. I am not sure. Medley might have been preseeded in that scenario
  2. I have already slashed his tires for you(us).
  3. 125 - McHenry has a good chance of getting to the QF. Wrestlestat has him beating Ferri of Kent State 10-5 and there is nothing in Ferri's results that make me think that McHenry is the dog here. He is a distinct underdog to Kaylor should they meet. McHenry's concerns have always been size and length. 133 - Ragusin got me legit thinking he is the dog in that 3-6 matchup. The Mendez match has me worried. I know Ragusin is chomping at the bit for a rematch with McGee. I hope he gets it and not in the consis. I am picking Ragusin to lose to Arujau in the finals, but I do think it ends up being much more competitive than folks think. His QF and Semi matches will be absokite dogfights. 141 - Honestly Mattin as the 1 seed surprised me a bit. Hardy and Vasquez aren't what I would call underdogs to him - I see the match being a grind for whomever makes it out. He has been lit, though, and I am picking him to make the finals and to beat Cornella there. 149 - I think this ends up being Lamer's coming out party. I think he thrills enroute to losing to Sasso in the finals. 157 - I don't see Lewan beating a healthy Coleman in the semis. I do see Scott beating Coleman and Lewan beating Scott, though. Then I see Lewan and Robb having a Lewan-esque match and Robb coming out on top this time. 165 - Unsure who they send, I assume Mattin. He just isn't bug enough for the grind here. A match or two win is possible, but depends on the draw. 174 - Walker at the 11? Easy money to outplace that. He will have a size (and speed) advantage on Conigliaro and nobody knows how good Romero will be yet. Taking my shot and saying Walker makes the finals. Lewis will destroy him - very bad match for Walker there. 184 - Finesilver has two of the three matchups possible here in which he will just be too horsed to compete. Hidlay is more of a brute and it will show. He can compete with PK, I think, the match just isn't going to happen, though. A 4th place finish is not out of the question. 197 - Bullock drawn in here? With the onky two I don't think he can competr with are Trumble and Sloan, the 1 and 2. He could go 0-2, though. This field is deep. If it is anybody other than Bullock I expect a winless weekend at 197. 285 - Parris will take 1st.
  4. @Jon_Kozak, have yo boy put some respect on the name.
  5. Lol at JD completely whiffing in the Ragusin VS Cannon bit in his Flo lightweight preview today...
  6. I think you are actually correct on the score.
  7. Haines beat Bearclaw at the Keystone did he not?
  8. In fairness he did just beat the starter 6-3.
  9. I think he is doing well? I wasn't the ine who anointed him the next Nolf. Do I think he could be that special? Yes. Do we need to see more from him before I would anoint him that? Absolutely. Do I also think that he would contend for AA this year? Absolutely.
  10. They weight conference championships heavily. I absolutely believe that tOSU should be #4 right now, and not #5. As @RYousaid, their loss was much later in the season, so USC's earlier loss was 'forgiven' more or less. If they defeat Utah this next week then it will have beeb avenged, as well.
  11. Oh god. You're one of those...
  12. Also wasn't the word out that Thicclay was sick or hurt enough he nearly didn't wrestle/finish NCAAs? And he still gave Brooks his best match of the weekend.
  13. I don't think anybody wants to dog on that 2008 149lbs bracket. The criteria asked wasn't about career accomplishments thereafter is all, just prior to.
  14. You mean five, correct? We are just in dev mode because wrestling hasn't actually started yet.
  15. Fake news, obvi.
  16. Oh very well, spanky big dog. Using these and rounding to the nearest whole number all three have them with a total of 4.
  17. Where do you think the term and name Karen became synonymous? Her family coined it in vicious intent.
  18. It never is this whole list, but... https://www.wrestlestat.com/event/66719/participants/wrestlers Gander at the top of 285...
  19. If we round to the nearest whole number Intermat and Flo have them with 2 and Wrestlestat has them with 3.
  20. If we round to the nearest whole number Intermat and Flo have them with 5 and Wrestlestat has them with 6.
  21. If we round to the nearest whole number, Intermat has them with 3, Flo has them with 4, and Wrestlestat has them with 5.
  22. As Dr. @MPhillipssaid, he is just looking to stay within striking distance if 57 KG. Arujau is doing the same this year, too, at Cornell. While I agree that his athleticism and strength did serve him well, he did go 14W-10L on the season. He was 13W-8L prior to NCAAs and 10W-7L prior to Big 12s - He lost to Hendrickson via Major Decision there in a match where Hendrickson was bigger, faster, stronger, and better in every exchange. Hiendselman of Oklahoma and Wood of Lehigh are really the only dancing bear type guys he lost to prior to the postseason last year. Guys like Elam and Schuyler, which he traded off with, are in the same boat as him - as far as being athletic heavies in the 225-240 range. Being as good as them, in comparisons, is a good thing. Especially when wrestling up at heavy for the first time.
  23. Greetings All, After yesterday, what are everyone's thoughts as to how it should play out? Here are mine: If Georgia, Michigan, TCU, and USC win their conference championships, they should be the 1-4 in that order. If one of them loses this is what I think: - Georgia, they should still get in as the 2 or 3 and Michigan slide up to the 1. No outside team(s) would jump over a 1 loss Georgia. - Michigan, they should drop to the 4, but not be jumped. I don't care if a 2 loss Alabama is 'better' when they lost twice. The Ohio State got clobbered at home in 'The Game' so no to them as well. - TCU, I think a case can be made for TCU to drop out and either Alabama or the Ohio State jump them, but being a 1 loss team and having made their conference championship game makes it so I lean to them getting a mulligan for me maybe? - USC, they undoubtedly drop out and no two loss non-SEC(Alabama) school is going to get in at this point. The question becomes which one? Alabama or the Ohio State? The B1G in me says tOSU, but the logical mindset in me thinks that if they say 'Who is better?' that they will select Alabama - justifiably so. Of the four current favorites to make it, I believe that Georgia us the only lock. Even if they get blown out, I think they get in. If Michigan or TCU lose competitive back and forth matches, then they might - more Michigan than TCU, though, as Michigan has the recency bias if the tOSU victory going for them. Prediction? I can't really make one - honestly. I think Michigan is the biggest lock to win of the four. TCU and USC have rematches. USC lose to Utah earlier this year and TCU beat Kansas State and it is hard to beat good teams twice. That gives me a gut feeling that USC will win and TCU will not. I think Georgia will win a slugfest, even if they don't win, like I said before, I think they are in. So my thinking is this: If TCU us the only of the four to lose, then the Ohio State gets in. If they are comparing four 1 loss teams (Alabama abd tOSU as well as USC), then the lone 2 loss squad gets eliminated. Then they say yes to USC as the 3, having won their conference championship. They give tOSU the nod. Their loss to Michigan was closer than the score indicated. 1-UGA, 2-UofM, 3-USC, 3-tOSU. If USC is the lone loser of the favorites, it essentially comes down ti Alabama and the Ohio State, in which I think they will favor Alabama. 1-UGA, 2-UofM, 3-TCU, 4-Bama If USC and TCU lose, which is possible, I think this is most likely: 1-UGA, 2-UofM, 3-Bama, 4-tOSU I think it ends up being TCU as the lone loser. 1-UGA, 2-UofM, 3-USC, 3-tOSU. EDIT: My apologies for the ramble.
