125: Gilman vs Jimenez
Gilman is absolutely punishing guys this year and Jimenez will be no exception. Gilman gets the pin. 6-0 Iowa
133: Clark vs Taylor
Clark bounced back well against Malone after his first loss and Taylor has only wrestled a couple matches so far this season. I have a lot of respect for Taylor, but I just don't see Clark dropping 2 out of his last 3 matches. Clark via decision. 9-0 Iowa
141: Carton vs Rowh
Carton is solidifying his place in the lineup and should control the match with Rowh. Carton picks him apart late for a major. 13-0 Iowa
149: Sorenson vs Crone
Crone does a decent job keeping things close, but Sorenson will force his will and get a major. 17-0 Iowa
157: Cooper vs Ruschell
Ruschell is ok, but he doesn't have any good wins. Cooper should be able to have his way here, but I think he comes up just short of a major. 20-0 Iowa
165: Paddock/Rhoads vs Jordan
Isaac Jordan is really good. He's head and shoulders above whoever Iowa sends out. Wouldn't be surprised if Paddock gets the nod now that he's back with the team and we've seen what Rhoads is capable of. That's no disrespect to Rhoads, but he's just not within striking distance of that top 12 as of now. Hoping we're able to keep this to a major. 20-4 Iowa
174: Meyer vs Robertson
Shouldn't be too much of a match, but if Meyer comes out slow then he may struggle to get the major. If Meyer comes out blazing then a good opportunity for bonus points. 23-4 Iowa
184: Brooks vs Christensen
Brooks is going to go all big brother on Christensen, similar to his Pestano (ISU) match. Minimum of a major dec, tech or pin is actually more likely in my opinion. Pin for Brooks 29-4 Iowa
197: Burak vs Peissig
Burak has looked really really good on his feet this year. I see him picking him apart from neutral. Burak cruises to a major. 33-4 Iowa
Hwt: Stoll vs Horwath
Stoll has beaten him once this year, this should be pretty similar result. Stoll either wins by a takedown or a pin. Give me the pin. 39-4 Iowa
