Wisconsin has a good chance at 4 all americans out of their 8 qualifiers- 125 lb Ryan Taylor should make it to the quarterfinals before losing but should have a winnable consolation quarterfinal which would earn all american. Same for 285 lb Connor Medberry. At 133 and 157, Tyler Graff and Isaac Jordan have a good shot at making the semifinals or even the finals, either has a chance at being champion.

At 149, 174, 184 and 197, I don't see much to hope for.

I know very little. There is a poster at The Mat dot com, johnnythompsonnum1, who is phenomenal. He knows stuff about the best wrestlers as well as also rans and bench warmers, and whose style matches up with an opponent to predict upsets.

I usually like to watch the finals every year so I can see a few of the future MMA stars prior to them branching out. In recent years I've seen Ben Askren, Chad Mendes, Johny Hendricks, Phil Davis and others before they transitioned.

Overtime match with crazy finish. Nebraska guy stalls by running away and Minnesota guy tackles him, barely staying in bounds, to win. You can start at 4:12 if you want.

Which of the finalists do you see venturing into MMA once their collegiate days are over with?

Don't really know but I could see Ed Ruth of Penn St following in the footsteps of Phil Davis or Tony Nelson of Minnesota being a Brock Lesnar type. Maybe Andrew Howe since he has a punishing style of wrestling.
