with only Nebraska left on the schedule I was wondering what the seeding is going to look like. Does anyone have a breakdown of the head-to-heads this year?
Big XII seeding
- Thread starter Cyforce
- Start date
Big 12 Rankings - D1 College Wrestling
This is pretty close to what the seedings will be only weight really up in the air is the 157 pound weigh class. Sorenson could be the 2, 3, or 4 seed at the Big 12s.

Even if Sorenson would drop the match against Nebby, I don't think he'd drop below the #3 seed. He'll have a the head to head advantage over Erisman and Wright. If he wins Saturday, he should be the #2 and I'm sure Erisman will be ready for a rematch. The Big 5 should send 3 at 157. He needs to nail down a top 3 seed this weekend then at least wrestle to seed at conference.
My guesstimate of seeds based on anticipated outcomes this weekend.
Long-1
Fanthorpe-2
Jensen-4/5
Mueller-2
Sorenson-2/3
Reader-1
Burk-4
Ward-3 (needs to get back on track and beat Ihnen this wkd)
Varner-1/2 (I don't think Brester beats him, but I'm not going to get overconfident)
Z-2
Right now, my biggest concern as far as a weight qualifying for NCAA's is 141. Jensen may qualify his spot with his pins of Krom and Prater but he needs a win or two at conference to claim it. Burk hasn't been great this year, but 174 stands a decent chance of qualifying all 5 wrestlers from the conference based on rankings/rpi.
OU schedule
January 22-Iowa State @ Home
February 4-Nebraska @ Lincoln, Nebraska
February 6-Missouri @ Columbia, Missouri
OSU schedule
January 24-Iowa State @ Home
February 7-Missouri @ Columbia, Missouri
February 12-Nebraska @ Home
based on the rest of their conference schedule
I'd say the match at OU would count which is the later match.
