Look how many guys in the finals with teens seeding. And that’s just the

Last 23 years in the top list. All American status has even more representation from high seeds. Robles beat an unseeded wrestler in the semis the year he won As don’t forget for many years they didn’t seed above 16. Seeding doesn’t determine who gets AA status. Performance does. And guys pissed because their seed is bad may be more motivated to perform. I guarantee a few 1, 2, 3, and 4 seeds loose on day one. It happens every year. Because it’s about who is wrestling the best at the end of the year seed be damned.

I see several VT guys who are underrated for a variety of reasons.
GreenvilleVT • 02/20/25 08:29 AM ET
Unfortunately, if they are underrated then they may end up seeded to low to
Palmetto Hokie • 02/20/25 02:22 PM ET
Here’s a whole bunch of guys seeded low but “made noise” in March. **
GreenvilleVT • 02/20/25 09:36 PM ET
Sure... there are a couple guys each year, but none of those are ranked

Saying the same thing... the high seeds outperform on occasion, but not
Palmetto Hokie • 02/21/25 09:48 AM ET
Matchups for sure but
GreenvilleVT • 02/20/25 08:53 PM ET
Not 15-20... and that' where several of our guys are slotting**
Palmetto Hokie • 02/20/25 11:04 PM ET
Mekhi won as an 11 seed and Bryce made the semis as an 18 seed I think **
donjfs3 • 02/20/25 09:04 PM ET
Lewis was the 8 seed. He beat the 1, 4 and 2 seed.
GreenvilleVT • 02/20/25 09:18 PM ET
Just have to see how the brackets break
donjfs3 • 02/20/25 03:07 PM ET
Matches you most want to see at NCAAs/BIG 10s?
Wilmington Hokie • 02/19/25 08:02 AM ET
Ferrari will likely petition the NCAA to have all the top guys on one side
HokieToph • 02/19/25 11:12 AM ET
His mom and dad will likely try to break into the seeding room
GreenvilleVT • 02/20/25 08:21 AM ET
Ferrari losing to anyone and everyone.**

Matches I'd like to see
VTDante • 02/19/25 09:50 AM ET
Seeing anyone beat Ferrari would be awesome.**
MC4VT • 02/20/25 08:27 AM ET
TJ vs Gabe Arnold would be fun.
Hokiemacho • 02/19/25 01:52 PM ET
I’d love to see Barr break Ferrari **
dougie_fresh • 02/19/25 11:56 AM ET
I'll add McEnelly vs. any of the top 3 at 184**
donjfs3 • 02/19/25 11:03 AM ET
I really hope you copy and pasted this instead of typing out each name.**
Nick BrownAdmin • 02/18/25 12:02 PM ET
haha...yes...cut and paste. A friend of mine knows the guy who runs that
VPIGUY • 02/18/25 02:28 PM ET
PEDState just scary in the upper weight classes. And VT not much...**
UTPr0sim • 02/18/25 09:35 AM ET
Its not just the uppers...
VPIGUY • 02/18/25 11:59 AM ET
If I had to predict today I'd say they get 4 champs and 9 AA's
donjfs3 • 02/18/25 03:45 PM ET
I'll go 3 and 8
Hikinghokie • 02/18/25 04:12 PM ET
How about this take: I don’t believe Messenbrink
133966Hokie • 02/18/25 06:50 PM ET
bold but I do think he is their best current wrestler so it's possible
donjfs3 • 02/19/25 10:57 AM ET
Messenbrink is fun to watch. His tank reminds of the Zain Train. **
VTDante • 02/19/25 09:42 AM ET
I don't know if many would disagree here
Hikinghokie • 02/18/25 08:32 PM ET
I agree. Carr was hit with waay too many stall calls in that finals match.**
HokieToph • 02/19/25 11:14 AM ET
I would never bet on something like that…
CTDad • 02/18/25 07:23 PM ET
CTDad - I hope you are correct AND it is a commit of our own that does it.**
