Allocations are out, and, based on those and who earned them, I think the Bucks get 8 to the Big Show. 133 has no shot in my opinion and 157 is an extreme longshot. If they would have qualified 9 or 10 at 157, I would have said they had a good shot, but with only 7, that means Hubbard/Wilcox/Hepner has to have multiple wins over seeded wrestlers, and I don't see that.

Assuming that Wilcox win over Brayton Lee isn't enough or he doesn't have enough matches.

On another forum they said Hepner won the wrestle off…. No one on Ohio state has enough matches to get an allocation

The MAC getting 22 bids is a complete joke! It is disrespectful to those teams that are working hard to make a name for themselves or their programs! Why on earth should any conference get 12 allocations at a conference, or even 10 for that matter?

I agree with what you're saying. Back before Mizzou and other teams joined the MAC they often got very few qualifiers, and with Mizzou gone they're almost back to where they were before. In the days when it was just a strict number of qualifiers per weight at each conference I think it was only two per weight in the MAC and you had to win the true second match when applicable. Now that it's based on RPI some of the MAC weights only get 1! Certainly some conferences have more highly ranked guys, but when there's so many allocations there's more opportunity to steal a spot. With only 1 or 2 spots there's almost no room to steal an automatic bid in the MAC.
I was thinking about this even before you posted it and I think the only "fair" solution is to qualify through Regions based on geography rather than conference.
