174 does not have that elite wrestler this year. This is Epperly's best chance at a natty. Bo Jordan has been hurt most of the year. Zahid Valencia and Mark Hall look set dominate the weight class beginning next season. Both, particularly Hall, can be had this year.

Most Hokie fans probably would have answered Dance if not for his two previous disappointing tournaments. Another drawback to 125 is Thomas Gilman. He is the elite wrestler at 125 which 174 currently lacks. Joey has beaten him (as previously mentioned) so there is a possbility. Suriano seems to be the other top level wrestler but is dealing with ankle injuries which could affect his NCAA tournament.

I love Haught next year, but you're asking him to beat both Cox and Pfarr this year for the title.

I would love to see Ty get a rematch against Snyder, but he'll have his hands full with Medberry (assuming Ty gets #3 seed).

149 and 184 have elite wrestlers ahead of Chishko and ZZ. Would love to see those guys make semifinal runs.
