Central is the ranked favorite with Kent and Ohio right behind. Northern is fourth.
125# Bedelyon (Kent) 1st, Mashkow (Ohio) 5th. Steintrager (Central) finally gets into the lineup - it seems like he's been there forever - ranked 2nd.
133# Mitcheff (Kent) 1st, Connor Beebe (Central) 2nd, Keyes (Ohio) 3rd, Clair (EMU) 4th. This is a very tough weight in the conference. I see three-four kids that could see the NCAA tournament in the new dynamic.
141# McLemore (Northern Ill) 1st, Lashaway (Kent) 2nd, Lindsey (Ohio) 3rd, Krueger (CMU) 4th. Toughest weight in the conference. New rules will allow four to qualify here. Kruger had a "bad" MAC tournament losing to McLemore and then Lindsey, which did not allow him to wrestle Lashaway for true 2nd - Kruger had multiple wins over NCAA qualifiers, including one over Jaggers.
149# Brown (CMU) 1st, Reedy (Ohio) 2nd, Sponseller (Kent) 3rd
157# Grayson (CMU) 1st, Tucker (Ohio) 2nd, Myers (Kent) 6th
165# Stewart (CMU) 1st, Simpson (Kent) 3rd, Weinkam (Ohio) 5th. I think Weinkam is underranked here, could end up second best in the MAC
174# Miller (CMU) 1st, Chine (Kent) 2nd, Ison (Ohio) 3rd
184# Kilgore (Kent) 1st, Moran (Buffalo) 2nd, DiDona (CMU) 3rd, Schuth (Ohio) 4th, Foore (EMU) 6th. Interesting to see if DiDona can follow the Central "m.o." of obscure kid comes in and steps into national rankings. This is another very deep weight.
197# Blackwell (Kent) 1st, Powell (Ohio) 3rd
285# Porter (Kent) 1st, Trice (CMU) 2nd, Wade (EMU) 3rd, Hartshorn (Ohio) 4th. Trice is a kid that can step right in and compete for AA contention, Porter is a projected AA.
Toughest weight in conference: 141, 133
Weakest weight: 197, 157, 149
