Seidel can definitely beat Forrest. He was hammering him earlier and did something stupid. Got caught in a 7 point move. Then lost 12 to 11. Im picking him to beat Forrest. You have to know how to wrestle a certain style and he does.

On the lookout for a spreadsheet if/when someone comes across one. Someone on the Iowa board typically puts one together that I've used in the past. I could probably repurpose last year's spreadsheet but that would be more work than waiting around for one to magically appear.
For at least 7 weight classes (and probably 8), seeing the PSU wrestler on the same side as your school's dude:
Facundo needs to get past Mantanona in the quarters first.
Those are 2 independent thoughts, that maybe both check out?
JTS had a mental break when Jax spurned us
Cole's path
If he can beat Kueter, he'll likely have Dawson (from NIU) or Hopke to AA
Lose to Kueter, loser of Taylor/Ghadiali (likely Taylor)
So yeah, it's in his best interest to find a way to beat Kueter

Not really that early. Only SVN and Levi could see a Cowboy before Friday night semis.
Agreed on this -- and the 11 would've also been not great with Cornella in Round 2. That just flips the Round 2 and quarters matchups, but at least Davis has faced Hardy and knows he can score.
It wasn't a 7-pt move, and that wasn't the final score.
But at least the final margin is correct.
I think these brackets are horrible. Everyone wrestles all the same guys they already wrestled. No effort to split things up to avoid rematches of rematches. They somehow manage to do it bball
I have learned to respect and like your crazy. I am hoping this crazy is as good as others you have shared.
He has to get by Cardenas on Thursday night first. Not an easy match up.
Overall I think this is the best draw we’ve gotten in a few years. I seem to recall 3 or 4 years ago we were equally pleased.
This is a problem with the NCAA seeding criteria: Conway beat all of the next guys except Ferrari in Win %, and all of them except Neitenbach in conference placement (both 2nd).
Allred was next up in the last regular season poll, but he defaulted out of B10s after the quarters. So he got dropped to the 8 seed, much like Ferrari got dropped to 7.
Maybe the committee could've flipped 4 Conway with 5 Mantanona after the math, but that's a pretty marginal change (1 spot and they still meet in the quarters) that they're unlikely to bother making.
Here are some more:
141 Round 2: 7 Stiles vs 10 Valencia
157 Round 1: 12 Zerban vs 21 Millard. Winner gets 5 Rope-a-dope in Round 2, also a notable matchup.
157 Round 2: 6 Swisher vs 11 Watters
157 Round 2: 7 Webster vs 10 Rozynski
157 quarters: 8 Cannon vs 9 Cardenas
174 Round 2: 6 Singleton vs 11 Gaitan
174 quarters: 8 Facundo vs 9 Mantanona
184 Round 1: 11 Cartagena-Walsh vs 22 Ryder and his 4 shoulder dislocations at B12s
184 Round 2: 5 Mantanona vs 12 Fishback
184 Round 2: 4 Conway vs 13 Dean
197 Round 2: 4 Sasso vs 13 Berge
197 Round 2: 6 Rademacher vs 11 McDanel
197 Round 2: 7 Merrill vs 10 Stout
It was a 3, and a separate NF4 when Seidel didn't try to get to base and Forrest moved up to turn him. There was a definite delay between scoring moves.
Saying it was a 7 is misleading. Forrest didn't throw him to his back or take him there as part of the takedown.
That is splitting hairs. It was the same sequence. May have been a delay of a second or two before NF points started.
Facundo’s win was when Levi had a huge cut in a short period of time and wasnot committed to the tourney - something like that when he was being interviewed. I not worried about that matchup at all
I ran into Levi after that match at Olde New York. Bought him a beer and he happily imbibed after that cut!
Don't sleep on Fishback...He almost KO'd Rocco if you remember
Also because he is very lumpy and uncomfortable
Adding in the 34 Bonus points Penn State has averaged the last few NCAA tournaments and Penn State breaks 190 points this year, which isn't too shabby!
Say what you will about how tough 133 is, but it is one of only two weights (with 197) to have two sub-0.500 wrestlers. Blake Boarman (#24 - Purdue)) made it in with a 44.4% win %, but Carter Schmidt (#33 - Oklahoma) takes the cake with a 33.3% win% - the lowest in the tournament.
Could be Robinson if he can get hot
I hope that finger doesn't impede his head hunting BS.
I'm repurposing last year's. Good news, it'll be ready in the morning. bad news, if it doesn't work, I don't know how to fix it
