A few notes from glancing through:
125: Escobedo and McDonough look to be on a crash-course. Sanders could throw in stick in those spokes, though.
In terms of winning the tourney, Triggas has about the worst draw possible. He has a pigtail. If he wins that, he will have to wrestle Sanders in the quarters, and McDonough in the semis before facing Esco in the finals. If he loses to Sanders, he will still have a tough road to qualify.
133: If he wins his pigtail, Paddock will rematch Dan Dennis in the quarterfinals. If he goes into it with confidence, maybe he's got a chance.
141: Humphrey should cruise to the finals, where he will face Thorn or Marion.
149: Looks like Lance will have Ruschell in the semis...
157: Somehow Colt Salazar is the first seed now that Schlatter is out. Salazar isn't even ranked, but seeds 2 and 3 are both ranked in the top 10. This bodes well for Nemec, who is in top half-bracket. He has about the easiest road to the finals that he could hope for. With that said, his first match is against Jake Kerr, who he lost to 2 weeks ago.
165: Sponseller will likely meet Morningstar in the semis. Maybe 4th time is the charm?
174: Rella has a pretty tough draw. If he makes it to the quarterfinals and loses to Borschel, there's a decent chance he'll face Brian Roddy in the consos.
184: Both semifinal bouts are of great interest. Pucillo will face John Dergo. Erwin will face Phil Keddy.
197: As the #8 seed, Magrum's first match is against #1 Chad Beatty. That's a bit crappy for both of them from a seeding perspective, but I sort of like the situation. Beatty has been out since November with an injury, and this will be his first match back. Who knows what to expect. If he wins that match, he qualifies for NCAAs.
285: Morrison's half-bracket is filled with people who beat him this year. His first match is against Cameron Wade--a very winnable match. If he wins that, he probably faces Erekson. I'm hoping we see Morrison finish out his career with his best wrestling. He's been quite a warrior for the Buckeyes.

Borchel only 2-0 over Zeerip is interesting. Paddock seems to look good in the consis.
Looks good for TOSU only if the big dogs step it up. Can't wait for Morningstar-Sponseller.

Ugh. After looking at the brackets, it looks like Nemec has a pretty tough road to hoe. Kinser was upset in the quarters, and Nemec faces him next....

Nice win for Paddock. 157 is a disappointing outcome. Tough draw but sometimes you've got to just figure it out.

Quote from Rick Wasmer's post:

"Colt!!"

Amen! Congrats to Colt Sponseller. It's too early to celebrate, though. He'll have to do the same against Howe tomorrow, and then potentially against a number of others at NCAAs.
M*, Howe, Marable, and a couple others will all be similar situations.

Pucillo vs. Dergo:
1st Period:
Dergo with an early TD. Pucillo out after 16 seconds. Dergo with another TD with 1:15 left in the period. 4-1. Pucillo escapes after 40 more seconds. Period ends.
2nd Period:
Pucillo out in 8 seconds, Dergo has 1:03 of RT. TD Dergo and Pucillo is out quick. Then, Dergo gets a leg trip for another TD. 8-4 Dergo. Escape Pucillo. Period ends 8-5. Hard to believe this is only a 3-point match.
3rd Period:
Dergo out pretty quick. Effectively 10-5. Dergo with a single leg. 11-5 (effectively 12-5). Dergo gets another takedown or 2. The match ends 13-6 or 15-6. I don't really know what to say about that...
