That's why I separate Imar and Cenzo . Or Spencer Lee and Suriano , Zain , Bo , Kyle Snyder , etc . Seeds don't matter for them . But in the quest to AA , a higher seed can be the difference IMO between an evenly matched group of wrestlers. A subtle advantage for ACC wrestlers due to a weaker schedule than B10 , thus in some cases avoiding the top dogs. The question is , does this make up for the obvious disadvantage of not competing against and getting a feel for the top dogs. Some of the many variables that make the NCAA tourny so interesting .
