Big Ten pre-seeds out (link). Surprises because of injury and unbalanced
schedule.
133: Blaze gets the #1 seed over Byrd. Likely Byrd-Davino semifinal
141: Braeden Davis #7 seed. Possible rematch of the contentious dual with #2 Hardy in the quarters
157: Brandon Cannon falls to #7 because of injury. Would likely face PJ Duke in the quarters. Cannon was #1 nationally at 157 earlier in the season.
174: Minto gets the #1 over Levi Haines! Lenny Pinto falls to #10. Not sure what happened to him, but Pinto was fun to watch last March
184: Angelo Ferrari #8! Possible matchup with Welsh in the quarters.
285: Cat gets the #8 seed
Note: Coaches can challenge seeding by Friday if their wrestler is within 15 points of the wrestler being challenged.
Penn State is the heavy favorite but they have some challenging possible quarterfinal matchups.
125: LL vs #8 Dean Peterson
141: Davis vs #2 Brock Hardy
157: PJ Duke vs #7 Brandon Cannon
165: Mesenbrink vs #8 Paddy Gallagher
184: Welsh vs #8 Angelo Ferrari
HWT: Mirasola vs #5 Braxton Amos

Davis has a bad record because of competition and took over the spot late.**
