Switch 174 to Haines. I really wish BK was the 6 instead. I like his chances much better in the quarterfinals as the 6 than the 7.

Same. Praying.

Just hope our 141 whether it’s CS or someone else can get us an NCAA bid…

If Schriever gets the #10 and faces #7 Puccino of IL. It could be his best chance to get a top 7

Will toughness of schedule factor in? And, does it count the toughness of the individual weight or the team? Confused

Someone told me it will just depend on what the coaches decide. Is that true?

Sounds like the coaches vote on the seeds and that trumps any criteria so it is really a crapshoot imo.

I think Ayala can be on his offense and beat Davis convincingly. Davis sometimes looks great other times not as much.

149 and 157 are matches we have much better chance to win then some think. Situations of these two matchups already established.

Levi Haines is very good, but can be dealt with in the neutral position. No confidence we can beat Haines though.

Barr is kind of like Haines, not superb in neutral. In fact Barr is frustrating, not a lock to be on finals either, lets see if he can beat Michigan again. Hopefully Buchanon does him no favors and controls the match, finds a hole in that stall stance.

125, 141, 165, 184, HWT we have pretty much no chance. But some critical matches vs other teams wrestlers.

I wouldn't expect opposing coaches to do Ben any favors.

I don’t think Levi wins B10s; I’m taking the tOSU kid to knock him out.

I think the seeds I predicted for HWT make way more sense than what Flo is saying. I have Ben at the 5 with a rematch against Luffman in the quarters. Ben has a better Big Ten record than all those I had seeded below him, all of his losses were to people I had seeded above him (and all of them had better Big Ten records than Ben) and Ben had h2h wins over the guys I had seeded behind Ben. Flo seems to be in love with Feldman who should have another loss except Kerk didn’t wrestle. Ben faced better competition and had a better record and should be rewarded as such.

Dang it!

Perhaps yes, Karchla the monster

 

[acuhawk]

Dang it!

The good news is pre seeds almost always stay so let's hope undercover hawk nailed it better than flo. Either way Ben just needs to kick all their asses in whatever order they're put in front of him
. But there's no shame in saying some paths are better than others
