There will absolutely be 3 auto bids


This weight is so top heavy that it looks like Dolly Parton

Thank you! I'll be here all week! Don't forget to tip your servers!

Ah, now that I got THAT out of my system, here we go:
If I'm an _impartial_ seeder I look at it by the opponents that these guys beat/lost to. Because of that, I think the key is Louie Deprez, Taylor Lujan and Andrew Morgan. Hunter is 1-0 and Hidlay is 1-1 against Deprez. Hunter is also 1-1 vs Lujan wheras Hilday is 1-0 against Lujan... So between these two, I think it goes to head to head. Hunter is 1-0 and Nino is 0-1 vs Morgan. These are high level opponents that COULD tilt it in favor of Hunter, although that remains to be seen. Although, recency bias makes it difficult to say that will happen. Any of these guys could be the 1 seed, although if I had to narrow it to 2, I'd say it's between Nino and Hunter. I wouldn't want to be in the seeding meeting, that's for sure.

So this is what I'm going to say will happen
1) Nino
2) Bolen
3) Hidlay
4-6) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So that means Hunter will see Hidlay in the semis, which should be interesting. Assuming he's healthy, I don't know how Hidlay wins with his underhook. That's his bread and butter and it's how he's won all of his matches against high level guys. BUT, I wouldn't put it past coach Pop to have a better gameplan.

If he loses, he will win bronze because he's just got to beat two warm bodies to get there.

If he wins, he gets Nino again. His offense against Nino was absolutely stellar. I'm sure the coaches will have him watch how when he was on the offensive, he got to Nino's legs every. single. time. He may have not finished all those shots, but that's no coincidence that he got to the legs. He's just better in neutral. But Nino won because he had more in the tank at the end, whether it was due to sickness from Hunter or just conditioning for Nino.

I don't think Bolen loses again though (yes, through the NCAAs as well), but I also don't think he get's the 1 seed at the ACC's. That said, if he dominates and wins, it wouldn't surprise me if he got the top seed at the NCAAs. Worst case scenario, he's the 2 seed behind Taylor Lujan (who also lost to Hidlay this year, so who really knows how 184 will be seeded at the NCAAs).
