Wrestling NCAA Bracket Reveal Thread

But just suppose Brady beats Carr....you never know..things happen.
No issue. Think people were just having problems finding it.
I have not looked at brackets in detail. Just reading the comments. I think the seeds our wrestlers got are pretty fair. The one issue I have is what seed they gave Hildy. Once he started the season and got a few matches in he was top 10. In addition he is a returning AA. Sure he wrestled a bad first match. He caught a bad draw where he hit a kid that is maybe top 5 in the country in wrestlebacks. I just don't think he should of dropped to 16. If he was dinged it almost makes you wonder if he would have been better to take MMF against McKee. I was wondering what some thoughts are from the guys that know the dynamics of what the seeding committee looks at ???
I love me some Brady Berge but he isn't beating David Carr. Carr is an attack mode wrestler who rarely gives up short offense takedowns. Carr had a close match with Robb, but having watched it up close I would predict a Carr MD if they should meet again. I also haven't seen anything that makes me think Deakin will present Carr too tough of a time. Score will be close but the match won't. Carr has all of the tools much like Brooks. Speed,great mat awareness,and a big tank.
Call me crazy but it is Mat Madness for a reason......Berge with the upset of Carr 5-4
I haven't even finished one weight and I already find myself advancing wrestlers in the bottom bracket that have shorter names.
Each, and 10 each HTH if you have any cheese left from last weekend.
More too come also.
I like it. Simple bet. 3-1 odds for you. Carr wins and you pay 100.00 to the Cyclone RTC and Berge wins I pay 300.00 to NLWC.
Like Jimmy, I keep thinking Beau will have a big breakthrough moment and finally realize his potential and end up as an AA. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it yet, but I guess there is still time.
Assuming Carr beats them both,Young/Berge wont meet till 3/4. Not sure bout Lewan.
Two things stand out to me:
Berge and Hildebrandt have really challenging backsides early on, especially Hild. I still think Berge can AA but most likely isn't beating Carr so he's going to have to defeat a top ten opponent just to make it to the round of 12.
Penn State has the potential to score a lot of bonus points. Those five 1 seeds really set them up nicely and Kerk is in a really good position as well. Those six guys can win this tournament by themselves.

Only bad part is I would have liked to root for Carr as long as possible- like right up to the finals when I then obviously will be pulling for Brady. Now, I can just hope Carr has a great run on the backside!
I would rather see Berge against Young in that second match after Friday morning weigh in.
This is correct assuming they all win their first round match. If one loses first round and another loses in the 2nd round that puts them on opposite side of the consi’s

hildebrandt's draw is fine. i have him 5th in my first run through. ceiling is still 4th.
In general, not a huge fan of complaining about seeds. There are a few head scratchers, to be sure, but go out and wrestle your ass off and beat who’s in front of you. We’ll be fine.
they should have a gentleman's agreement to wrestle freestyle
Yes, but so much better than Aaron having to wrestle Hannibal Lecter in the second round.
That would bite.
I'd be thrilled if Beau beats VanBrill in a tiebreaker Friday morning wrestlebacks by winning the coin flip, deferring, riding out VanBrill, then taking neutral and running away for 30 secs!
Running low on material? 3 likes for THAT? C’mon Wino, you know better.🤦♂️
How about just straight up whoever gets the highest finish between Young and Berge for $10?
So to clarify, we are $10 for whoever finishes higher between Young and Berge and then another $10 per match for every H2H PSU vs. Iowa. Does that sound correct?
I think Kerk is better, Parris is worse and Cass is to a degree still learning how to work with this new physique. Kerk is really quick getting to a leg and it seems like when he gets a leg more times than not he gets a TD. I still like Cass against both but Kerk seems the tougher option at this point.
Wait you can like someone's post wtf I'm going back and like every jefe post I ever read maybe he can surpass Mr Brooks
Aaron's a 1-seed in my mind/heart too, assuming that's the reason you said five 1 seeds.
Correct, and as it turns out, (assuming both win 1st match) if Carr beats them both the HTH between BB and KY will immediately determine who finishes higher lol.So to clarify, we are $10 for whoever finishes higher between Young and Berge and then another $10 per match for every H2H PSU vs. Iowa. Does that sound correct?
How bout $25 on team score?
Lets donate to the WC’s this time?
Concur WildTurk. Not a big fan of Nick's, especially after watching the oddball way he was acting at B10s, but I don't think he is the least bit worried about who he faces unless/until he and Vito meet in the finals.
Yep sounds good across the board. Good luck my friend!
