If D Alton is healthy and wrestles, than according to the current Intermat rankings, PSU would be favored at 157 only. For PSU to win, they would need Conaway, Gulibon, Alton, Brown, McIntosh and Lawson to pull it off. Conaway, Gulibon, Brown, McIntosh and Lawson are all close in rankings to their expected Iowa opponent and have beaten some of these opponents in the past. I think in this case, wrestling in Rec Hall would have worked better in PSU's favor than the BJC; however, getting 16K wrestling fans in one venue is pretty awesome. Maybe some of our wrestlers will visit the Hawk huddle during introductions just to turn up the excitement a tad. Iowa will be a solid favorite, but I think it will be close.

Expect a close dual meet. Just my early look at it.
125. Iowa \
133. Penn State
141...Toss up
149...Iowa
157...Penn State (if Alton goes if not toss up)
165...Iowa
174...Penn State
184...Iowa
197...Penn State
Hwt...Iowa.
So have 5 for Iowa 3 for Penn State with 2 toss ups. If Alton goes 5-4 with one toss up.
It wil be a good and interesting meet. Don't really see any bonus matches..

Very minor correction. After Schiller beating Burak, I expect Smack to be ranked ahead of Burak.
