Hunter Stieber and Josh Kindig went unseeded at 149, but both are injury concerns. Stieber's elbows are shot and he got rag dolled in the consi-semis against an inferior wrestler at Big Tens. In his previous wins, he asked the ref not to raise his arm after the match. Serious pain.
Storley at 174 is a 6 seed and could easily make the finals.
Nick Dardanes at 141 is a 6 seed and could also make the finals, but there is speculation about his health as well.
Devin Carter at the 4 seed (141) is ridiculous, but the best he will do is 3rd because Stieber is on his side
Zack Beitz (12) at 149 has a good draw but with a limited ceiling (low AA)
Pierce Harger at 165 is a dangerous wrestler as a 7 seed. Avoids Dieringer, Sulzer,and Bo Jordan on the opposite side of the brcket. Tough first round draw though.
Brett Pfarr the 11 seed at 184 could make a run. The bottom side of that bracket is pretty open.
Coon as the 6 seed at 285 is a pretty decent pick.

It's based off of rankings, not seeds. I should have specified that. Still though, this post was super helpful. Thanks man.
I will post the rules of the pool that I am in...maybe we can get something like this started on here???
1.) Each entry will consist of 10 wrestlers. 1 wrestler per weight class.
2.) The top 15 ranked wrestlers in each weight class will be assigned a point value based on their ranking from 20 to 2. Here are the values:
Ranked 1: 20
Ranked 2: 17
Ranked 3: 15
Ranked 4: 14
Ranked 5: 12
Ranked 6: 11
Ranked 7: 9
Ranked 8: 8
Ranked 9: 6
Ranked 10: 5
Ranked 11: 4
Ranked 12: 3
Ranked 13: 2
Ranked 14: 2
Ranked 15: 2
3) TEAMS WILL HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 130 POINTS. THERE IS NO MINIMUM.
4.) CHAMPION BONUS: Each team will list its choice for champion at each weight class in a separate space provided. There are no values assigned, simply choose who you think will win. 2 points will be awarded for each correct pick. 2 points X 10 weight classes = 20 points possible. This is like adding a champion to your team.
6. Tie Breaker Criteria:
A.) Most champions on roster.
B.) Most All-Americans on roster.
C.) Most bonus pick champions.
D.) Highest Individul Scorer on Roster
E.) Split
* Then it goes into the money shit, that wouldn't apply here if we did this, but for what it's worth: 60% payout to 1st place, 25% payout to 2nd place, 15% payout to 3rd place.
