and assuming we need to perform to the average of the last six champions how do we get there?

I think Lewis and Bolen both need to be champs, or at least one a champ and one a runner-up. Every champion over the past six years has had two champs.

We need at least two other finalists or at least two close to 2nd place. Do Catka (Flo BB #7) and Brady (Flo BB #9) offer us the best chance of the remaining eight to make the finals?

That leaves six. We probably need five to get AA, the higher the better. Andonian (Flo BB #20), Ulrey (Flo BB #23), Hillegas (Flo BB #29), Ventresca (Flo BB #47) and Latona (Flo BB #51) all seem to have a decent shot to AA.

What's Smeltzer's ceiling? I couldn't find anything about his HS ranking.

1-2 champs, 2-3 wrestlers coming in 2nd/3rd and then 5 others being AA would put us right around #1 I would think. Of course this is all much easier said than done. How nice would it have been to have Amos in the lineup?
