This is my 22nd year of posting my predictions. Over two decades worth of making my crazy, outlandish, straight from the gut predictions & I still know, I'll have people come at me wondering why in the world I didn't just stick to the seeds! I'll tell you why! Cause upsets happen EVERY SINGLE year! So why not try and predict some of them? Guys that have wrestled like Gawds all season long will go DOWN!! Guys who have been lackluster all year will come ALIVE. It WILL happen. There's no stopping it. I just got back from NCAA DIII's and saw a ton of upsets. I saw guys that weren't supposed to lose, lose. I saw guys that weren't supposed to do well, do extremely well. Since 2002, I haven't been playing it safe, so why in the Hell would I start now? Don't like my predictions? Good! I probably wouldn't like your's either. Do I have anything against anyone? Is the fact that I have Penn State winning as a team but I don't have them walking out with 10 individual champions something I have against Penn State? Nope. I'll admit I'm not a big fan of the fact that Cael & Co have a "NCAA's is all that matters" mentality, but other than that I'll cool with the blue & white. In fact if Carter Starocci does end up winning 174 (which you'll see in a minute I have him doing), I'll more than happily point out that he had the toughest route to a gold medal I've ever witnessed in NCAA DI wrestling.
