My spin on the brackets. I'd much rather see CMU on the B side of the bracket, but Minnesota should take care of business.

1 Penn State
16 West Virginia
9 Tennessee-Chattanooga
8 Northwestern
5 Central Michigan
12 Indiana
13 Hofstra
4 Minnesota
3 Iowa State
14 Cornell
11 Ohio State
6 Michigan
7 Missouri
10 Nebraska
15 Northern Iowa
2 Iowa

Seed 8, draw 8. So Nebraska could wined up any where. And nobody is wanting that draw.

that looks about right to me...

i agree that Minny v CMU would be a bear not that Hofstra is any piece of cake.

conceivably then I see (here come the boos) Minny having to go through Hofstra, CMU, Penn State and then Iowa for the Championship.

Good thing then because if they do knock off PSU and Iowa you could make an argument for them to be #1...

I see the difference being the health of the wrestlers and possibly the performance of some subs...its hard to ask all of your starters to wrestle all four matches in a tournament like this but I guess as long as its over two days, its doable.

Kish needs to be there and Nord/Berhow, Saf/Glasser and Bronson/Malamura will need to wrestle well.

I think Minnesota is an absolutely awful match up for Penn State, so I would love a draw that looked like that.

They could conceivably take every bout save for 197.

I like RYOU's spin also. Though Michigan is again a better indy tourney team than a dual team, I'd take those first two round potential matchups. Wouldn't mind another shot at Nebraska, who finished U-Ms crummy 2 and out showing last year...

Penn state would be extremely lucky to win 4 matches against minnesota... Probably the best semi draw we could ever hope for.
