How do you think this dual plays out? Lots of matchups that could go either way.
Here are my predictions w/ brief explanations
125: Ayala dec. Spratley (3-0)
Spratley has looked great as of late whereas Ayala has slowed down a bit. I still believe Ayala is a slightly better wrestler and his resume shows it.
133: Fix maj dec. Schriever/Teske (3-4)
Fix majored Teske last year and Teske has had an up-and-down season. Fix likely bonuses both wrestlers
141: Woods dec. Jamison (6-4)
This one could be 12-5 Jamison or 4-1 SV Woods. Jamison is strong and hard to score on, however, Woods (when healthy) is one of the best in the country. Assuming he's healthy, he should have the edge
149: Rathjen dec. Williams/Alvarez (9-4)
I've been impressed with Rathjen this year, solid technique, and notable wins over good guys. Williams has been very up and down this season, maybe something bothering him mentally. Williams could surprise us but I believe it's likely that Rathjen will get the win
157: Travis dec. Franek (9-7)
Lots of people will probably disagree with me here. Teague's offense is very underrated, he gets in on everyone's legs, and his defense has been impressive too, especially for being undersized. I believe Teague's attacks will pay off and he will win a close decision.
165: Olejnik dec. Caliendo (9-10)
This one I am not as confident in. I think people have figured Izaak out and his main attacks, however, I think he gets the lone takedown of this match and wins a close one. Just basing this on their wins this year. I believe Olejnik's resume is a little more impressive this year.
174: Kennedy dec. Thompson (12-10)
Thompson could pull off the upset considering his solid defense and big move potential but I think Kennedy is too technically sound and will be able to finish his shots.
184: Plott maj dec. Arnold/Riggins (12-14)
Plott has put up a lot of points this season against quality competition. I think he racks up the scoring in an important dual, even against Arnold.
197: Glazier dec. Surber (15-14)
Surber has been battling injuries all season and has not looked great. Glazier has produced an impressive season so far.
285: Doucet dec. Hill/Kueter (15-17)
Not much to say here. Doucet likely comes out on top by a point or so.
Final: 15-17 (OSU)
