I did fill out brackets, front and back, completely and add things up. With no bonus points I'd have Iowa winning with 96 points (8 AAs but no finalists), to Missouri's 81 (3 finalists, 2 champs, 5 AAs) . Mn. tOSU and Cornell trailing. This tournament is not wrestled without bonus points however and it's going to be really interesting to see how it shakes out. And factor in my homerism where Iowa gets the benefit of my bias in the blood round, while guys from Missouri, didn't. At, at least 2 weights, I can see Missouri guys getting the win in the round of 12, where I gave them a loss in my brackets.
Can't count out MN. Cornell, or tOSU by any means, but think they will need more help to get it done.
