For what it's worth, still waiting on the Big Ten to release these. Usually, they are out by now, but that isn't the case of of 4:30 on Monday.

Oh, really? That is a departure from how they’re usually done it, and I’ve not seen that, but thanks for the info.
Only thing I can think of is that they changed the last day to submit rosters to Thursday. Maybe it’s related?

Probably this is a result of Iowa's screw-up last year, when they submitted Schriever as the 133 but then weighed in Teske instead. That move cost B10 an auto-qualifier spot for NCAAs.

Also, it screwed up the B10 brackets. The conference tried to punish Iowa by giving Teske the lowest possible seed (14), despite 4 guys at the weight with losing records. It was to force him to face the highest seeded guy without a bye (the 3) in Round 1. Teske beat Bouzakis, which hosed up consis and possibly kept an otherwise deserving wrestler from qualifying for nationals.

What are the Vegas odds of the Brothers Brands doing the same thing this year at 174 and/or 184 this year? ;)
