If #9 seed Starocci wins it all, he must get OW, right?


Recommended Posts

Given that he will have beaten so many higher seeds (by seeds he will have to beat the 8 Kemp, 1 Lewis, 4 Griffith and 2 Devos), including two former NCAA champs AND been one of the lowest seeds to win a NCAA title?  How can that not be a shoe in for OW, if it happens this way?  It would be a true underdog story!

If either MM or O'Toole win 165 & finish the season undefeated and don't get OW id be flabbergasted. 

165 is the Premier weight this year. All the top wrestlers are healthy and ready for battle. The winner should get outstanding wrestler award.

I think Keegan/MM winning that weight would outdo him or Trent beating brooks.

agreed. 197 in general not a very deep weight. 174 is not that deep and some of the top guys are not 100 percent.

OK, in the spirit of @cowcards and his daily trivia, 24 unseeded wrestlers have won an NCAA title, but the lowest seeded wrestler to win was a #13 seed. Can you name that wrestler?

There has also been one #10, one #11, and one #12. Bonus points if you can name them.

Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

Cody Brewer was the 13 seed. And he dominated his way through the bracket. He should have been seeded much higher, though.

I think MM would have to absolutely dominate his half of the bracket, which he is capable of doing (and then beat O'Toole, of course), to have a chance at OW. Reluctantly agreeing with JC that Starocci's path is actually set up for an OW run with two former champs in the way. O'Toole's path is difficult enough to compete with that depending on who is more... outstanding...

Wrong.  Next stupid question.

I still think if the 9 seed wins they are the OW unless a lower seed wins it all this year. If Carter wins he has to be OW in this scenario.
