I'm surprised we are so low at 133 given we have wins over 1,4, and 5.. at 157 we are in a good position, if we are going to beat Carr the best time might be after he has been sitting for a month or more.. at 174, we beat colbray and we are below him? ...

Yeah, the good thing is they are pre-seeds so they can change. Really don't see how Witcraft is below some of those guys. I could be wrong but I don't think he has a loss this year to anyone seeded above him.

Reece is a tough guy to seed. Lost to #7 and #8, beat #1, #4 and #5. You could make the argument that he should jump 4 and 5, but you could also make the same argument that he should fall behind 7 and 8.

174 is another strange weight to seed. Joe beat Colbray, Colbray beat Steiert and Mantanona, Steiert and Mantanona both beat Joe. Steiert beat Mantanona which decided the one seed. If Joe finishes that last takedown against Mantanona clean, he'd be the 2. Iowa State fans are probably mad about Colbray's seed given he has beaten the two guys in front of him and he only has that one loss against the wrestlers in this bracket.

WrestleStat has a really nice page that gives all of the H2H results for the likely starters. https://www.wrestlestat.com/tournament/2/big-12/overview
