1 auto bid for this weight


This is by far the weakest weight at the ACC's, BUT I wouldn't be surprised if whoever finishes second get's an at large birth.

Smeltzer will face Baker in the first round. That shouldn't be an issue, which will put him against Aiello in the semis. Aiello can be inconsistent at times, but I think he's too good for Stan (right now...). So that puts him in the consi-semis against Houghton most likely, unless Reenan wrestles (he can absolutely beat Whitman if he's healthy... remember this is the guy that made Final X just two years ago at 86kg). It's really difficult to predict what will happen without knowing who weighs in for NCSU, so for the sake of my brain, I'm going to say Houghton weighs in.

We saw what happened last time... next topic.

So in the broze medal match, he will most likely face Whitman. I think he can beat Whitman. Will he though? It just depends on which Stan shows up. When he's on fire, he's strong enough to take on almost anyone in the country. When he's cold, he's a fish. I could really see it going either way. I don't think he qualifies though, unless he beats Aiello...

There is a lot of if's here... I could see Stan finishing as high as 1st and as low as not placing at all (if Reenan shows up, he will face either him or Whitman in the consi-semis).

This will be a weight to pay attention to for sure.
