Likely paths to AA matches or title match
125 - Favorable - #10 McGowan (way better against common opponents), plus side - no Bouzingas, negative side - has to solve #6 Volk (0-2)
133 - Favorable - on seed, has lived up to the hype, hard to believe one of these guys won't be an AA
149 - Favorable - # - #19 Herman (no meaningful matchup data), #5 Buesgens and #10 Valencia again to get to Medal rounds (2-1 against both) - probably the best scenario for a freshman to draw previous opponents
157 - Really Tough but not impossible - #29 Lowery (even common opponents), #6 Swisher (Miller has a substantially better record agaist common opponents) and #8 Cannon (0-1) - has to wrestle boring and get lucky late
174 - Bloodbath - #10 Takats (1-2 lifetime but split this year), #2 Ruiz, and either #4 Kharchla or #5 Kennedy(horrible against common opponents for all 3)
184 - Really Tough borderline impossible - #29 Fox (better against common opponents), #22 Ryder (even against common opponents), #8 Allred (0-1 TF) - will need best performance of life to get past Allred
197 - Shrugs Shoulders/Favorable? - #19 Lehman (better against common opponents), #6 Rademacher (even against common), #9 Posada (1-1, both MD) - which Sasso wakes up today
285 - Doable/Favorable - #18 Carroll (1-0), #9 Mirasola (even against common opponents), #27 Catka (1-1, Mullen with a F, and all those practices, this would be fun) - which Big Jim wakes up today

With the caveat that I don't think he gets it done

Still very reasonable to have 3-4 AAs and a finalist.

While Bullock would probably have a tough path to AA this evening

Yeah but when a guy that dominated you is best case for blood round.....**

True, but in fairness that was over a year ago when he wasn't even wearing
