I think (a) they wanted to make sure the last match had a home team
wrestler to keep the crowd until the end, and (b) they didn't want it to start with EV and Seidel because VT was heavily favored in those matches and Hokies would have locked up the team title early. Unfortunately, Bullock and Sasso took out the suspense, ruining the chance of a dramatic finish. ;)

Why did the ACCT start at 157??**

I am not sure I would say "heavily" favored at 125/133 prior to match**

I was personally think 133 Seidel/Knox was bigger. But one case for 157...

That's fair, but though AS would cruise. Knew CJ / KB would be tight.**
