The brackets come out today

[y2jriden]

I hate to interrupt the regularly scheduled Suriano talk but the brackets are supposed to come out at 6ET. Apparently they are starting by announcing the top seeds. They just announced on twitter that Cruz is #1 at 125.

 

[LemonPie]

As for top 2, only 141, 157, and 197 should be interesting. Well, I guess 174, but I don't think order of 1/2 matters much.

 

[dmm53]

Tomasello gets the #2 seed. The question becomes how they seed Suriano and Lee now.

B1G champ Nathan Tomasello gets the two seed at 125!

 

[LemonPie]

Nato #2. I know we have a lot of Cruz fans here, but I'm glad Nato will draw Suriano/Lee instead

133: Gross at #1 and Micic at #2. No surprises. 141 should be more interesting.

 

[PSUbluTX]

Surprised Eiermam got #2. Meredith at #1 was a shoe-in.

Surprised Eiermam got #2. Meredith at #1 was a shoe-in.

Diakamohalis will likely be 3rd seed, which could set up an interesting potential semi with Eiermann who gave him his only loss so far this year.

 

[fronk71]

Lavalee #2

 

[dmm53]

Lavallee with the #2 seed. That could be good for Nolf if he gets #3 (which he deserves) He would avoid Kemmerer (who is quite dangerous) and Hidlay (who is still a relative unknown). Nolf dismantled Lavalle in the finals last year.

 

[LemonPie]

We're gonna see McKenna/Jack and Micah/Lavallee Quarters. Kill me.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Surprised Eiermam got #2. Meredith at #1 was a shoe-in.

Who else would get #2 at 141? Eierman won his conference tourney and is #2 in most rankings. He was the guy most likely to get the #2 seed, IMO.

 

[dmm53]

IMar at #1 and McFadden at #2. Got to believe Joseph is at #3

 

[dmm53]

Anyone know what the exact NCAA weblink is for seeds in 24 minutes? I don't think it is twitter account at NCAA wrestling, is it?

 

[pish69]

No more all star matches for PSU

 

[LemonPie]

BoJo on Hall's side. Valencia no. 1

 

[dmm53]

Valencia gets #1.

 

[greenmanRD]

Just hoping Kollin ends up on the opposite side of Shakur at this point. The early seeds don't look ideal for us.

 

[tikk10]

Nato #2. I know we have a lot of Cruz fans here, but I'm glad Nato will draw Suriano/Lee instead

I said in another thread that the prize here was whoever drew opposite Cruz because all three guys probably can handle him. NaTo would've been better off at 4.

 

[Hotshoe]

It is just wrong for an undefeated Champion to be number two. It's just stupid.

 

[IAChief32]

Lavallee has wrestled one top ten guy...which he lost (Hidlay). His toughest opponent other than that is Archie Colgan.

 

[cpn1sgm]

Where are you getting the seedlings? I only see the top 2 seeds. How do you know Nolf is the 3 and AP is the 6?

 

[dmm53]

Wow, Moore gets #1 over Darmstadt.

 

[dmm53]

And Snyder is at #1 (despite a very limited schedule, as usual). Did Ohio State just bribe the committee?

Who is barely lower than Pantaleo because of how weak 157 is.

They don't. but we should know soon. Stay tuned.

It looks like the committee is punishing guys for MFFs. I agree that they should, but if they are not, then I have no explanation for what they are doing. The formula as it stands cannot be spitting out these results.

 

[LemonPie]

I really hope Rasheed can get the 6 over Weigel. Probably doesn't deserve it, but Im hoping.

 

[fronk71]

Fully expecting a Rasheed/Moore quarter.

Not sure about that Flo, Amateur Wrestling News and Intermat have Shakur as the #7.

No one knows for sure yet; some folks are just projecting. However, some of the projections could be quite likely to occur.

Here is the link for the live selection show starting right now:

This one (Snyder or Coon at #1) probably makes no difference whatsoever.

 

[greenmanRD]

Rough break for Rayvon Foley, gets Cruz R1.

 

[greenmanRD]

Keener gets Forys R1.

 

[greenmanRD]

Lee gets Diehl. Zain gets Springer. Nolf gets Heffernan.

 

[greenmanRD]

Vincenzo gets Schlieffer, potential quarter with Richie Lewis.

 

[mcruny42]

Nolf v Kemdog in the quarters? What a joke

 

[dmm53]

Nolf with #3 and Kemmerer with #6 sets up a quarterfinal between them. Looks like they really punished medical forfeits.

 

[fronk71]

Wow.....that's a tough seed for Nolf. Kem in Q's

 

[diggerpup]

Nolf v Kemdog in the quarters? What a joke

Committee is huffing a full box of Whip-It’s.
