Team-wise, ISU jumps up, both OSUs fall.

Individually, shakeups at 141 (Jaggers over Manny) at 165 (Saf over Spons to 11, Dwyer over Reader).

CMU also jumped up in both polls. They earned their first No. 2 this week.

What a joke for Ohio State to drop as low as they did, because of losing to Minnesota. Ohio State easily beat Wisconson and beat Penn State twice.

goferphan

But Minnesota lost to everyone, that's what THEY will tell you. Everyone knows come tournament time the team records get thrown out the window.

I will tell you what I tell everyone else Jeep, show me, don't tell me.

That's what I had in mind when I posted that. Buckeyes are a better tournament team anyway, I think they finish runner up in the next 2 tournaments.

goferphan

OSU isn't going to finish runner-up at either.

Minnesota will place ahead of them at both in my opinion.

I could be wrong but I don't think this is OSU's year. I think next year they will be pretty bad-ass although it will be without Bergman.

If Jaggers keeps rolling, it wouldn't be a suprise to see him in the finals. Pucillo has a great chance at the finals. Bergman is a shoe in for the finals at HWT. I would bet at least 1 of them win the title. Palmer gets top 5 finish, Sponseller a 7th or 8th, Hump gets 2-3 wins, and Triggas or Johnstone win 1 or 2, and I think were looking at runner up points. I do admit alot would have to go right for all that to happen, but I never said I wasn't a homer.
