Ranking the #2s

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Of the 2nd ranked wrestlers on Intermat, who has the best chance at winning it all at NCAAs?

My take - from most likely to least likely.

1. Real Woods - he's been dominant this year.  A primo transfer for Iowa.  He may actually be the favorite over #1 Alirez.

2. AOC - undefeated former champ. Certainly capable of taking out Robb.

3. Kerkvliet - Parris is undefeated but I think Greg can beat him with a smarter gameplay that doesn't result in him gassing himself early

4. Fix - although he's 0-2 versus RBY you have to think 3rd time is a charm.

4. O'Toole - although Carr dominated him he could flip the script.

5. Beard - 197 has been pretty open all year, except Nino hasn't taken a L yet

7. Labriola - the funk doesn't work against someone as sound as Starrocci

8. Keckeisen - I think Hidlay actually has a better shot at taking out Brooks

9. Gomez - would have been much higher had he not gotten injured

10. Pat Glory - Spencer is the GOAT.

@PortaJohn values all #2's equally.

I'm not sure AOC has a chance here.   She doesn't really have a wrestling mentality.

True ... but believe he said "some are more rank than others."

Let me tell you. Valuing #2's is a lot messier than valuing #1's
