This tournament will also be using head to head competition to seed wrestlers. Coaches will have from 03/02/2016 at 10:01 p.m. until 03/03/2016 at 10:00 p.m. to login and indicate the other wrestlers in the bracket that their wrestler has beaten. The wrestlers will first be placed in order using the seeding criteria above, then any wrestler that has beaten a wrestler within 1 slot(s) above him and has not lost to any wrestler below the wrestler will get moved ahead of the wrestler he/she beat. If a wrestler has beaten a wrestler but lost to another wrestler below the wrestler he/she beat, that wrestler will not be moved.
 
Bo will beat Dean in NCAA finals!

I will take Dean. Way more athletic and stronger than he gets credit for. I realize how fun Bo is to watch and seems like the hottest wrestler but that's just because Cornell isn't on TV like PSU. Dean has been tearing up and pinning guys just about the same pace but its not all over the front page of Flo everyday.

Plus the dude beat one of the best 184 I have ever seen in Ed Ruth. Think about that for a sec. I'm a big fan of Nickal but he isn't Ed Ruth at this point.

I have not watched Dean this year, but if he wants to protect his string of 3 possible championships, he can probably win by going for the 2-1 or 3-2 victory. If he doesn't put himself at risk for Bo's incredible counter-offensive game, he will win but it will be a boring match. If he lets the fur fly, Bo's unorthodox can catch up to Dean's fundamentals

I agree with Ihawk.....Dean simply put is a stud. He may not be as flashy as Nickal but I am guessing that all those that would take Nickal for the title would not be putting big money on it either because you have to respect Dean's resume.
