Obviously we want to win every match, but lets take a look at where we go in the brackets if there is a loss
125: Drake really needs to keep his momentum going, because a loss to Spratley drops him into a bloodround match with the winner of (possibly) Deaugustino and McKee.
133: Teske has Brown from Maryland, who gave him a tough match. If he wins that, he's likely looking at Yarbrough, the Nagao Slayer, and if he wins THAT one, the loser of Ragusin and Shawver in the bloodround. A particularly brutal draw for Brody. For those interested, Nagao is looking like he's going to have beat Chlebove, Bouzakis, and the loser of Orine-Arujau to place.
141: Woods, if he lost, would have to beat one of Happel, Lemley, or Matthews to place. By far the toughest consolation quarter. Bartlett has VomBaur, and even if he were to lose, his quarter is much easier and is almost a lock to place.
149: Rathjen is going to have to beat D'Emilio, Miller from Maryland (who I think beat Rathjen at B1Gs) and then the loser of Lovett-Swiderski to place. Kasak has Fernandez from Cornell, Rooks, and the loser of Arrington-Gomez (who could FFT out if he loses).
157: Unbelievably, if Franek loses, he's going to have to beat one of Chittum, Blockhus, and Downey to place. Again, by far the hardest quarter.
165: There really isn't a toughest quarter here, but Caliendo would likely have to beat Peyton Hall to place.
174: THis one has been discussed ad nauseum. If Kennedy is going to place, he's going to have to beat the loser of Starocci and Lewis, although it's possible Starocci FFTs out if he loses.
184: N/A
197: Glazier is going to have to beat Stephen Little, Joey Novak, and the loser of Sloan-Deprez to place.
285: If Hill beats a tough Hunter Catka, he's going to end up, if he makes the blood round, facing the loser of Hendrickson-Elam.
There you have it, to our quarterfinalists, lets just go win and not worry about it. To the consi wrestlers, you put yourselves there, now lets dig out!
