Precin gets revenge on his Big Ten rival McDonough before winning in his first national championship appearance.
133: No. 1 Jordan Oliver (Oklahoma St.) over No. 3 Andrew Long (Penn State)
Oliver has beaten all comers this season, so no reason to think he can't take down former Big 12 wrestler Long.
141: No. 4 Jimmy Kennedy (Illinois) over No. 7 Tyler Naumann (Pitt)
Coming off a redshirt season, Kennedy's only losses has been to Russell this season. He gets over the hump in the semis before beating another surprise finalist in the championship.
149: No. 1 Darrion Caldwell (NC State) over No. 3 Kevin LeValley (Bucknell)
Caldwell wins yet another national championship with an explosive and exciting title match performance.
157: No. 2 Steve Fittery (American) over No. 1 Adam Hall (Boise State)
Fittery caps off a dominant season with a win in the title match of perhaps the most competitive weight class in the country at the top.
165: No. 1 Jordan Burroughs (Nebraska) over No. 2 Andrew Howe (Wisconsin)
The match that everyone wants to see ends the same way it did at the Midlands: With Burroughs wearing down Howe in a high-scoring affair.
174: No. 1 Jon Reader (Iowa State) over No. 3 Mack Lewnes (Cornell)
Reader has owed this weight class all season, and beats Lewnes for a second time to take the title.
184: No. 5 Joe LeBlanc (Wyoming) over No. 4 Travis Rutt (Wisconsin)
LeBlanc "cowboys up" and takes out a Big Ten rival in one of the most wide open weight classes in Philly.
197: No. 3 Trevor Brandvold (Wisconsin) over No. 4 Dustin Kilgore (Kent State)
Another wide open weight class sees the Big Ten champ continue his winning ways to help the Badgers get Top 5.
285: No. 5 Dom Bradley (Missouri) over No. 3 Jarod Trice (Central Michigan)
Perhaps the biggest upset of the tournament sees Bradley knock off Rey, then down Trice in a mild upset for the national championship.
Top Five Teams:
1. Oklahoma State
