Good breakdown!Here we go!!
Hopeful that Steen has a good showing in Consis. If there ever was a time it would be now!
RBY should cruise nicely.
No reason for Beau not to get to the Woods rematch in the final, but will need to keep his scoring pace up.
SVN / Murin QF is huge. I think SVN wins that rematch handily.
Haines / Robb potential final will be electric. Great benchmark for him overall.
Facundo / Hamiti will be a fun Semi (hopefully) and like Haines/Robb a really good benchmark for his podium aspirations
I'd love to see Edmond Ruth win his quarter and get Starocci. That would just be really cool. Can't believe Labs is still around, but not concerned for CStar overall.
Brooks should roll. Interested to see if Assad wins his quarter whether he shows up.
Dean will have some fun matches. Caffey/Warner quarter winner will be a good match, and Allred/Braunagel as well. Not confident in a win, but he can absolutely bring it home.
Kerk/Tony and Kerk/Parris are always personal favorites for me as well. I think Kerk rolls

oh for sure not a cake walk, but he's been getting better all year and Kharchla didn't score in their first match, so I'm fully leaning AF here.Facundo has no cake walk in quarters
Facundo and a few other guys MUST wrestle above seed.Facundo has no cake walk in quarters
MUST or else what? They don't qualify for nationals? PSU loses a trophy nobody cares about?Facundo and a few other guys MUST wrestle above seed.
Not sure everyone gets bumped up. Some do, but everyone? We'll see. Gonzales is 0-1 in B10 duals but has a winning record against all B10 opponents and is 17-8 overall this yearHeinselman is out and everyone should be getting bumped up a seed. Steen would get Braxton Brown first round who he lost to 1-0.
Wasn’t sure his record when I posted this. Just assumed he’d be 14. And didn’t say easier for steen. Just that first match seems winnable. I’m not confident Steen can wrestle consistent enough to qualify not matter the situation.Not sure everyone gets bumped up. Some do, but everyone? We'll see.

If Steen is the 10, his path to qualifying got harder even if the opener got easier. (And Brown might not be the desired opener -- DeAugustino is injured and had a bad outing at Last Chance Open.)
Also, B10 loses the 9th qualifier spot. Steen now has to finish top 8.
It's hard to tell until the brackets are posted. There are legitimate arguments for seeding Gonzales 10, 12, or 14.Wasn’t sure his record when I posted this. Just assumed he’d be 14.

Agreed. I'm at the point I'm hoping he gets the 11 and can beat an unhealthy DeAugustino (I question if he can). Think he can qualify if that's his path. Don't think he will any other way unfortunately.It's hard to tell until the brackets are posted. There are legitimate arguments for seeding Gonzales 10, 12, or 14.
Steen could end up the 9 seed, if DeAugustino also withdraws.
If he's the 9 or 10 seed and loses his opener, then he gets Bye in Consi Round 1 -- but his next opponent (the one that matters most) is harder than if he's the 11.
If it helps, look at how DeAugustino did at Last Chance Open (filter on NW) 2 weeks ago:Agreed. I'm at the point I'm hoping he gets the 11 and can beat an unhealthy DeAugustino (I question if he can). Think he can qualify if that's his path. Don't think he will any other way unfortunately.
What if Deaugustino shakes his hand and then MFFs?It's hard to tell until the brackets are posted. There are legitimate arguments for seeding Gonzales 10, 12, or 14.

Then Steen advances to the quarters against Cronin, likely loses there, then faces the 12/13 in consi Round 2. Win that and he's in.What if Deaugustino shakes his hand and then MFFs?
