Iron Mike has a tough road to finish in the top 8. I believe he can do it.

BSD and BHGP project Kelly to be seeded 10th. Not sure if that makes the road easier or harder... either way, it's tough sledding.

This is what you call a meat grinder. Holy smokes!

Does Alton wrestle or not?

 

[Chopper25]

Demas has a win over Welch which could bump him to 5 and Kelly to 6. One thing that could prevent this is Kelly's loss to steamroller from Maryland. One other thing to watch is Altons win over Demas giving him a better seed then he deserves. He then tanks it, but still gets in to the NCAA tourney because he has an early season pin over Realbuto.

Still to be determined officially, but doubtful IMO. Alton was brutal his last match (gassed very early), and I don't see how the PSU staff can risk another such performance. I think it will be Frey, but we'll see.
