Top Ten per Trackwrestling:

1.	Penn St.	16.5
2.	Oklahoma St.	13.5
3.	Edinboro	11.0
3.	Minnesota	11.0
5.	Nebraska	9.5
6.	Cornell	9.0
6.	Iowa St.	9.0
6.	Oregon St.	9.0
9.	Iowa	8.5
9.	Wisconsin	8.5

My bracket disagrees slightly, I think Ohio State has 9 points and is in the "tied for 6th" category

2nd round will be big for of AA chance.

Earl vs Martinez
M Moreno vs Booth
Gadson vs Meeks

Also Loder goes down and so does #2 seeded Nick Dardanes of Minnesota.

 

[buf87]

If Nick Moore win his consi match, he will have the loser of Turk of Citadel and Mock (#6 seed).

 

[GoCubsGo]

Have updated brackets been posted anywhere yet?

 

[buf87]

Trackwrestling has them

 

[buf87]

Turk vs Mock loser and N Moore consi bracket leads to Moreno in Round of 12, if Moreno gets beat on champ side

 

[CycloneWarning]

So did we go 6-0 in the opening matches, or did someone get beat right away?

 

[buf87]

Winning vs Booth, then losing to Taylor almost looks tougher than losing vs Booth.

Boy hate saying that

Gabe Moreno lost to the #1 seed, and Lelund lost to the #3 seed. Gabe won a pigtail prior to losing. 5-2.

Gabe Moreno got pinned by Port after his pigtail win over Lester
and
Weatherspoon got beat by #3 Dean of Cornell

T Weatherman has #5 Brown of Penn State on Champ side
Weatherspoon has Unseeded Garcia of Lock Haven (24-7) on Consi side

Now that I've actually looked at the complete bracket I think you might be right. Moore getting upset really threw a wrench into Moreno's side of the bracket. He's going to have to beat either the #5 or #6 seed to AA, or the #3 seed if Mock upsets Sulzer.

Overall I like his chances better against Moore though. Though I don't see Moore turtling up and going home crying after an early upset like a lot of Iowa wrestlers have had a tendency to do in the past.

 

[buf87]

Only thing, It is brutal coming from all the way back on the consi side tomorrow.

Moore is going to have some big battle before getting that far. I think a fresh Moreno is probably worth a lot.

He'll get another shot at Dylan Peters, I think.
