Feel confident about the top 6 below but real guesses after that:

1. Virginia Tech (#9 in Coaches Poll)
2. Arizona State (#10 in Coaches Poll)
3. Northern Iowa (#14 in Coaches Poll)
4. Oklahoma (#19 in Coaches Poll)
5. Lock Haven (#20 in Coaches Poll)
6. Virginia (#27 in WrestleStat.com)
7. ODU (#37)
8. UTC (#40)
9. Campbell (#43)
10. Kent State (#48)
11. Iowa State (#54)
12. Bucknell (#61)
13. Fresno State (#71)

Don't know what metrics they will use for the lower seeds and not sure how "13 teams" will play out (maybe one of them doesn't come). Wondering if they would put Iowa State in the VT bracket. I think UVA and VT can't meet until the final (not that UVa will get to the final) but I don't see them getting a #4 or #5 seed based on the rankings of the other teams.

Definitely a more difficult road for VT this year. Maybe not so much getting to the final as I think VT will beat an OU or Lock Haven in the semis but ASU and UNI are better this year and a real threat.
