If Jax Forest and Aaron Seidel are 4 and 5, no one is going to want to be 1

If Jax wins the Big 12 he will be the 2 seed. Not sure Seidel can above 4.

I'll be happy if Seidel is on the opposite side from Forrest.

I'd really like Eddie to be on the 3 line...

Agreed. I would like to see Eddie opposite LL and Bouzakis. Bouzakis is a
better matchup with Eddie at this point. Bouzakis takes out LL in the semis. Eddie finds a way to the finals with a difficult but better matchup against Bouz. Eddie's quickness is negated with LL plus his length. Eddie will have one-takedown nailbiter matches regardless starting in the quarters.

Agreed I think LL is a bad draw for Eddie

Yes it’s interesting the Coaches have Seymour above him as
Eddie beat him earlier this season at the NWCA All-Star Classic.

The All Star match doesn't count, but yeah, those matches against Volk hurt
EV, and Seymour is undefeated and is likely getting some love for beating LL last year. I know EV has owned but VRob, but he'll need to do that in the ACCT too or he may fall quite a bit in seeding.

It doesn’t technically count - you are correct, but in listening to
seeding discussions coverage, it sure seems as though the coaches consider it… Yes - going to be a tall task to keep beating VRobinson but Eddie can do it. Just don’t want a repeat of the Haught/Mach scenario!

Only 3 ACC allocations at 197….
Surprising as 3 of the top 11 are in the ACC

Brophy took a bad loss at Last Chance Open that tanked any shot at 4
