Please use this thread to discuss where you think PSUers and non-PSUers will be seeded at Nationals.

Starocci 5/6. Will be behind Ruth and Griffith. Lewis and Devos. And maybe one other.

I have the following (some where I actually crunched the numbers and others where I estimated):

Davis #1 (could be #2, comes down to coaches rank)
Nagao #9 (Fix/Crookham/Orine/Arujau/Bailey/Shawver/Ragusin/Frost -- seem clearly ahead)
Bartlett #2
Kasak #8
Haines #1
Mesenbrink #2
Starocci #5 (based solely on the matrix)
Truax #5
Brooks #1
Kerk #1 (although it comes down to RPI or panel moving him up)

Each year, @SetonHallPirate has an excellent Police Blotter. It basically shows who stole slots/seeds at NCAAs, and who were the victims.

He's generated his Conference Championships Edition.

PSU wrestlers did so well at B1Gs that they are barely mentioned in the Blotter. The only PSUer listed is Carter Starocci, as a victim @ 174.

You can access the Blotter at:

When it come to Starocci, if he accepts his at-large bid, his opponents will be the victims. The "crime" will resemble assult more than theft.

true. In the Pirate's format, he has to be listed as a victim, though I concur with your thoughts on the subject.

I all honesty, I don't think it matters whether Brooks or Hidlay are #1 and the other #2 they are so far ahead of everyone else. The coaches know how seeding works and could have scheduled more matches. So my guess is they aren't too concerned where the psu wrestlers get seeded.

Did I misinterpret some posts in the B1G tourney threads that seemed to suggest it was better for wrestlers to be seeded in the odd number bracket rather than the even one? I can't cite posts and know it's possible I didn't correctly grasp the point - hence my question here. TIA!

For the top guys, not at all. I always worry about where a guy like Kasak, Nagao, or Truax will be. Always hope they avoid 4, 5, 8, and 9 so they miss the 1 seed
