NCAA 125

[chasepollard]

I have run through my 125 bracket and I did it similar to the Big Xii's. My results from the Big Xii's came back at picking 69/80 placers. My Reece bias cost me 1.

At 25 I have it at:

1. Ramos
2. VRob
3. Figs
4. Troy
5. LL
6. Ventresca
7. Strickenberger
8. Gallagher

Discuss away!

I haven't done my brackets yet, but after his loss, Figs was on fire. I think that could continue into NCAAs. Wouldn't surprise me to see him repeat. LL looked really good at B10s. Hate it, but I think he could end up in the finals.

I use wrestlestat alot in my picks. I don't always go with who they say, but I look at the head-to-heads pretty hard and take my own knowledge with it on the close ones.

Takes me awhile per weight.

I don't know man... 125 can get pretty wacky, and my bracket is not chalk at all (I guess except for the 1 and 2 seeds running through), but the outcome isn't terribly far off from it. I have 7 of the 8 top seeds AA'ing with only the 8th missing out and the 9th slipping in. I have Spratley knocking off Strickenberger in the Consi of 4 and Robinson in the Consi Semis so that's probably a bit of an Orange tinted take, but I'm rolling with.

1. Lilledahl (1)
2. Ramos (2)
3. Spratley (7)
4. Figueroa (5)
5. Ventresca (3)
6. Robinson (4)
7. Strickenberger (6)
8. Smith (9)

There’s like 12 guys that can beat the other 12 guys…which is fun!

I go match by match and it’s crazy to see how a bracket can be busted several times because of an upset that really isn’t much of an upset.

Is there anywhere to fill out the brackets online?

Lineup Legends has a free sweepstakes where you pick the 10 champs for a chance to win $10k.

Wrestlematness (normally free) has a $5 buy-in bracket but it's not toward a pool of money. There will be prizes but the 5 bucks is basically a donation. Top-side only.

Wrestlestat has a free one with no prize I think. Haven't tried it yet so not sure if it includes the backside.

Figs wrestled very poorly in his first and second match at Big12. I don't think he's making the finals, but 125 is anyone's guess

And he had bonus point wins to finish 3rd. I think it was a wake up call for him. We’ll see if he wakes up at Nationals.
I never thought he would win last year after he had been beaten by Spratley. ASU always has a wrestler show up at Nationals. Not sure how but they do.

I actually dropped Troy into the wrong slot. So, I have Troy at 5 and LL at 4.
