125 and 149 affected in a bad way, with a 4 or 5 wrestler difference. At-large will make up some of the difference surely, but doubtful the whole difference.
174, 184, and 197 are next, with a 2 or 3 wrestler difference currently. At-large can cover that difference.
133 and 141 appear to benefit with 1 or 2 more spots than there are ranked wrestlers.
It's not over yet, there's one more Coaches Ranking to be released after this weekend, which will change as guys get 4 matches. Still, the current difference at 125 and 149, and to a lesser degree 174, 184 and 197, may affect the chances of a couple of the currently-ranked guys making it to St. Louis.
