I'm beginning to think MSU is on to something.
B1G Seeds

Totally healthy. Missing 2 months and then limped off the mat after Okie State was all just a ruse.
I would definitely have lost any trivia question where Blake Rasing is the correct answer.I really like our guy at 97!! And I think our guy at 57 is pretty darn good as well! If our fellas show up and do what they're capable of doing we should have a great weekend!
And the full leg wrap was just in case there was a draft in the tunnel heading out to the mat.
i see ol’ chips is at it again lol
You might put the whiskey down and leave the bar until your noggin starts working
MSU is absolutely pathetic without 1 wrestler seeded in the top 10... Likewise WI is not too far behind I think they have the most 14 seeds... What an embarrassment for both schools
Won’t be shocked if a few drop
Wrestling … Sad times coming men
On the other side Maryland has really improved from where they were at. Could have a couple AAs this year.
Really shocking where Wisky is at compared to 10, 20, 30 years ago.
The 8/9 seed is really tough to AA from. Awhile back I looked at 3 years of brackets and the results weren’t favorable. The 10 and 11 seeds had better results than 8 or 9.
There were more upsets of 10 beating 7 and 11 beating 6 in the second round,
There are of course exceptions. Figgs won from the 8 last year.

Especially the last two years. It’s hard to imagine 3 years ago Wisky was 12-2 in duals and had 9 NCAA qualifiers, 8 in ‘23 and 5 last year. This year 2 tops.
Brother, I was in the same boat. I wouldn't have guessed him in 30 tries, and I've been watching (when possible in the military) and paying attention to Iowa wrestling for decades.
This is where the rubber hits the road for a guy in Kueter’s position, IMO. Finsihing 3rd in this field would be a big step forward. It will require sustained sharpness and smart wrestling. A strong showing here and at Nationals sets him up well psychologically for next season.
Assuming he loses to Kerk and seeds hold, his path through the consi's would be Nevills, Slavikouski, Feldman and Heindselman.
Pulling that off would be a huge step in college wrestling maturation.
Think we can qualify all ten. I think cullan was gifted the most winnable first round opponent possible. If he wins that I think he has an extremely winnable 7th place match
Just that Ben would have likely been the 3 seed instead of the 7 if he beat Luffman when they wrestled in the dual...
Does anyone think any seeds will get changed tomorrow? I know it is pretty rare. I don't follow other teams close enough to know if they would have any strong arguments for their guys. Do the coaches ever actually push for their guy to get seeded higher anymore after the pre-seeds come out, or do they just except them and move forward? Just wondering why they even release pre-seeds if nothing ever changes anyway. Just release the seeds on Friday and roll with it.
I could see arguments with 149 but really don't see how changing up the top 3 would end the argument. That really is a 3 man toss up but of course only 2 will get into the championship match.
Obviously, getting the 1 seed is a HUGE advantage. I don’t necessarily have an issue with the pre-seeds, but I would fight pretty damn hard if I were the Iowa or Nebraska coaches…
it behooves the rest of the B1G coaches to get a PSU wrestler out of the favored seed (not that it ultimately will make a big difference)
Van Ness Major over Parco > Lovett major over Van Ness, since Parco beat Lovett.
Also Lovett has two losses, even though it was to #1 Henson.
If Henson wins the ACC and these three finish 1,2,3 they should be 2,3,4 at NCAA. However, it probably doesn’t happen. Lovett has the most to gain and lose.
10 central / 11 eastern start on Saturday
What kind of Jedi mind trick is that 😂
All 3 have 1 conference loss. Lovett didn’t get majored. Both SVN and Parco did. His loss was by 1 pt. Manning has a legitimate argument for the 1 seed. But let’s hope the seeds hold. The match up with Lovett has proven to be a lot better.
I am saying the coaches who are seeding it are looking at it this way and all things being even Lovett has lost twice
I like the seeds the way they are and hell yeah Lovett had a case for #1. If he would have beat Parco he’d clearly be #1,
Whomever wins it, and I hope it’s Parco, is a lock for the # 2 seed, providing Henson doesn’t stumble, then it’s a one seed. Where it gets tricky for NCAA seeding is if McNeil upsets Henson. Parco and Lovett both beat McNeil head to head.
I wish they’d get rid of the conference champ gettin extra points for seeding, because if you split with a guy the most recent win, usually the conference championship, trumps the split record. Maybe it would help reduce the dodging tactic.
If McNeil does win the ACC he probably jumps #2 & for sure #3 at the BT Tourney. Someone else can run it on a spreadsheet and prove me wrong. God knows I’ve been wrong before.
The brackets are on Trackwrestling. No changes to pre-seeds at first glance.
