So what's gonna happen...

...on Sunday in Ames?? IA v. ISU?

[OGGoldy]

I bet ISU wins easy. Iowa isn't quite at Iowa State's level.

What do the match-ups look like? I'm seeing Iowa could win 6 or more.

[JensenS]

125: Kist v. Falck
133: Fanthorpe v. Slaton
141: Gallick v. Leclere
149: Mueller v. Metcalf
157: Sanderson v. Morningstar
165: Reader v. Perry
174: Scott v. Borschel
184: Varner v. Beatty
197: Bertolino v. Keddy
285: Zabriskie v. Fields

I think Iowa bumping Keddy to 197 and sticking Beatty in at 184 gives them the best shot to win. Neither guy will beat Varner, but I think Keddy matches up better with Bertolino than whoever Iowa's other guy could be at 197

[Trusty]

Falck
Slaton
Gallick
Metcalf
Sanderson
Perry
Borschel
Varner
Bertolino
Fields

Iowa upsets the Clones 18-14
*If no Perry, then Clones take it.

BTW- I think the college football craziness is going to spill over into wrestling this year! Everyone is going to have a couple losses come March.

125: Falck
133: Fanthorpe
141: Gallick
149: Metcalf
157: Morningstar
165: Perry
174: Borschel
184: Varner
197: Bertolino
285: Fields

18-12 Iowa....Morningstar beat Paulson at this dual a year ago

[ISU2008]

125 Falck md Kist (maybe keep it to a dec) 4-0 IA
133 Fanthorpe dec Slaton 4-3 IA
141 Gallick dec LeClere (toss-up, give it to the home team) 6-4 ISU
149 Metcalf md Mueller (Metcalf will be more offensive than Schlatter) 8-6 IA
157 Sanderson dec Morningstar 9-8 ISU
165 Perry dec Reader (possible upset?) 11-9 IA
174 Borschel md Scott (Scott looked bad at Minn but Dretsch couldn't finish) 15-9 IA
184 Varner dec Beatty 15-12 IA
197 Bertolino dec Keddy 15-15
285 Zabriskie dec Fields (see 141) 18-15 ISU

Falck, Metcalf, and Borschel definitely have chances to get majors but it will be huge if they don't, which will give some leeway at 141 or 285. I think Varner and Bert could major but they need to find the offense. Zabriskie can beat Fields but he has to wrestle better than he did Sunday.

Could be as bad as 21-12 IA if they get the majors and win the toss-ups or good as 20-12 ISU if we get some majors and avoid giving them up.

I see a lot of love for Iowa. IF Iowa pulls off the win, how far would the gophers fall in the rankings?

Well...If UI does pull the upset, one would think rankings would go:
1 Iowa
2 ISU
3 Minn
