How bizarre is the manner this weight class has unfolded?
Let's start with who's lost: 1 seed Russell, 2 Tanelli, 4 Tsirtsis, 5 Hoehn, 9 Jantzen and 10 Thorn. All lost to lower or unseeded wrestlers.
Look at the top of this bracket: Ryan Prater v Ryan Williams (8), Drew Lashaway (12) v Alex Krom. One of these four guys will be an NCAA Finalist! Gallick and Jags square off tomorrow in the third quarter while unseeded Nick Nelson takes on Chris Drouin.
I can't recall a more bizarre weight class. Let's root for a Jaggers v Lashaway championship.

I see the Gallick/Jaggers winner taking the weight, a match in which unfortunately I have to take Gallick.
Krom is the hot name on top. The InterMat/NWCA poll to end the year had him 10th, so he was like the first name outside the seeds. Certainly a golden opportunity for all four wrestlers on top. Ryan Williams is the best equipped to clear that, though I hope Lashaway does.

Jaggers v. Gallick is the national championship match... it's just happening two rounds too early.
On the topic about draws, I pointed out the Gallick match as the biggest one because I think he's the toughest match for J of anyone in that weight class. Gallick is unorthodox and he's strong. Watch out for the spladle.
Jaggers wins the title today.

"Jaggers wins the title today."
yeh thats what i thought when Ryan Lang got to finals 2 years ago vs a relatively unknown California-Davis kid, a kid who had never placed higher than 5th in his state tourn.
That kid dominated Lang
.
overconfidence breeds upsets--- hope u r right though.

Point well taken. You don't underestimate anyone at this point, no matter what their seed.
