Looking at rankings / seeds.
2 Pletcher lost to 5 Micic
5 M Jordan lost to 7 Pantaleo
3 BoJo lost to 6 Amine
1 Superman lost to 2 Coon
There’s basically no difference in 1/2 seeds at heavyweight, because no one is touching either Coon or Snyder.
But there will be some shifting in the other three classes.

It just shows that OSU has a great lineup top to bottom, but very realistically could end up with no champions. They have 5 or so guys who are on that 2nd tier behind a real stud. They have 3 or so who are top 2, but are at best 50/50 to win it all. OSU will have to thread the needle to beat us come NCAAs. They could do it, but it will be tough.
Sometimes when you win, you actually lose
Pletcher probably just put himself in Gross' half of the bracket. Will likely cement that at B10s, not seeing him beating Micic there either.
MIckey ... too early to tell. Ask again after he faces Hidlay next week.
BoJo ... he and Amine will now likely face at B10 semis. If BoJo wins B10s, the highest seed he can get is 3rd behind Zahid and Lewis (not sure this loss will impact that at all if he beats Mark at B10s). If he's B10 runner-up, then he's probably looking at the 4 or at worst 5 seed behind Kutler. Hard to see him drop below 6 even if he loses to Amine at B10s ... though I would totally not mind seeing him get Zahid in the quarters.
Snyder: no impact. Coon and Snyder will get the top 2 seeds at nationals in whichever order and meet again in the NCAA finals, barring injury.
great! glad you got the match score. We were missing it during the broadcast.
Having Zahid get the 1 with BoJo having a 4/5, plus Seth Gross having a 1 with Pletcher getting a 4/5 almost makes me giggle out loud.
You're probably right but I just don't have that confidence in the seeding committee. They sometimes overvalue winning the conference tourney, esp. B10s.
If Pantaleo knew how to actually use a cradle, Michigan would have won this dual ...
Or he could have just sank a good half and see if Micah could have fought it off for 2 and a half minutes.
Fans will never be happy with seeds at NCAA's, just speaking generally after reading/hearing comments for decades. Granted there's a few crazy, unexplainable seeds, but they do a fair job with a tough task.
One example, which does not a trend make, of the value placed on the Conference Tournament, is the 2011 B1G's and NCAA's. Q was seeded 8th at B1G's, with Rutt, Steinhaus, Gambrall, Hinton, Dallago, Kissell, and Magram (in order 1-7) seeded ahead of him. On the way to the conference title, he beat Rutt, Steinhaus and Dallago.
To show the "body-of-work", AND the conference tourney emphasis, Q had a mixture of both. He passed 5 of the 7 guys seeded higher at B1G's, but ended up lower than Rutt and Steinhaus, who had much better bodies-of-work. I thought his #9 seed at NCAA's was fair. He was behind Honeycutt, Hamlin, Bosak, Rutt, LeBlanc, Loder, Perry, and Steinhaus (in order, 1-8) that year...and won it all. Losses during the regular season to Hamlin, Scheidel, Gambrall, Dallago, Steinhaus, and Rutt, sealed his fate for a higher seed at NCAA's, yet he passed others by winning B1G's.
So the moral of the story is......duals do matter! Go figure!
Well, unless you're freshman Jason Nolf. In which case pin in dual < rideout loss in conference finals.
Not that it really mattered, both guys made the national finals.
Michigan and Nebraska are behind Ohio State with two conference losses. Iowa has three....
That's hilarious. I knew a guy once, in his early 20s, who was a bit insecure. Not very mentally resilient. He started doing intense weightlifting regimens and got very muscular and strong.
Problem is that he then became a d*****bag
Don't forget NC State fOSU next week. Additional carnage methinks may not effect B10, but will at NCAA's.
Is this a “White Men Can’t Jump” quote??? This board is awesome!
