I was using the NCAA coaches panel rankings .....

and they are the only rankings that matter as they are 1 of 3 criteria for getting an NCAAT allocation for the conference.

125: Although both unranked, UNC Szymanski has a clear advantage of VT Ryan More (remember, no Kyle Norstrem)

133: #13 Dennis Gustafson vs #20 Zach Sherman

141: #32 Brent Moore vs #18 A.C. Headlee

149: #26 Ryan Blees or unranked Solomon Chishko vs. #4 Troy Heilmann, clear advantage for UNC (Sully is not the same Sully)

157: unranked B.C. Laprade or whomever vs. #17 Kenny Monday

165: #3 David McFadden vs. Unranked Lautt

174: #31 Hunter Bolen/unranked Cody Hughes vs. #7 Ethan Ramos (he will be ranked around that this week but wasn't previously because of a lack of matches but he wrestled this past weekend).

184: #7 ZZ vs. #17 Chip Ness

197: #2 Jared Haught vs #15 Daniel Chaid

285: #17 Andrew Dunn vs #24 Cory Daniel

Assessment:
VT has the advantage at 133, 165, 184, and 197
UNC has the advantage at 125, 149, 157, and 174
Toss/up: 141 and 285
