Devils27 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 In more stunning news the NCAA championships final round will not be started at 125 but will start at 174. To say this has something to do with Dake being a possible 4 Timer is an understatement. It will be aired live on ESPN Saturday night a prime time spot!

MattM Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I heard internet rumors that it would end with Dake/Taylor. But, though it may be out there, I haven't seen a new source yet confirming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin160 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I know it won't happen, but what if one of the studs gets knocked off.... Then the finals include one stud and one lower level guy... This would prove less entertaining than say other weight class would. All these matches will be crazy with possibly 3 undefeated vs undefeated matches (141, 184, 197). I am excited for Dake Vs Taylor (I'm picking Taylor), but going in a different order to highlight this match is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm indifferent about it. I agree Dake/Taylor is the highlight match, but I'm not sure how I feel about it showing up the importance of the other final matches. I will say though if they want to change things up then they should just announce they would choose the finals order after the semi's. That would give them the flexibility to have the best match up for the finals be at the end even if an upset did occur. Now they are somewhat locked in to that position and going back later to change it would cause a little stir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted to be safe they should put 174 last, considering any of the top 12 seeds could win, making any final crazy. This is the one weight without any seperation in my mind.

I dont believe there are any "lower level guys" in this tourney (the lower level guys (e.g.- us) are busy posting on Indianamat) However, I do get your point but I think it adds some excitement with a grand finale...assuming it happens.

Madtownxwrestler Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing hand selected order of finals based on hype...... That could be pretty interesting especially if the team points could make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
