Path to Victory
Obviously some things need to go our way to pull the upset. We need a combo of us wrestling slightly above seed, NCST wrestling slightly below seed, and some big swing matches with Pitt vs NCST. Here's a path that isn't outlandish (I used the interactive bracket posted on intermat forums):
125: Champ - Camacho +1 Bonus, 2nd - Flynn ---- NCST 13, VT 9
133: Champ - Orine +1 Bonus, 2nd - Latona +1.5 Bonus ---- NCST 26, VT 19.5
141: Champ - Matthews, 2nd - Jack, 4th Crook +2.5 Bonus ---- NCST 35, VT 25.5
149: Champ - Henson +1 Bonus, 2nd - Arrington +1 Bonus ---- NCST 45, VT 38.5
157: Champ - Andonian +3 Bonus, 3rd - Scott +2 Bonus ---- NCST 51.5, VT 52.5 --- This is obviously a massive swing
165: Champ - Heller, 2nd - Fields, 3rd - Brady +2 Bonus ---- NCST 60.5, VT 60 --- Extra room for bonus depending on round 1
174: Champ - Lewis +1 Bonus, DNP - Faison ---- NCST 60.5, VT 73 --- R1 match b/w Pitt and NCST is huge
184: Champ - Stewart, 3rd Fishback +1.5 Bonus --- NCST 69, VT 85 --- R2 match b/w Pitt and NCST is huge
197: Champ - Hidlay +3 Bonus, 2nd - Smith ---- NCST 84, VT 94
285: Champ - Trephan, 2nd - H Catka ---- NCST 96, VT 103
Upsets by seeds: Andonian over Scott and Santiago, Heller over Fields, Augustine over Faison.
Not my predictions, just trying to show how little flipping the team scores actually takes. What do you guys think?
