With the B1G recently releasing their preliminary seedings for the upcoming B1G Wrestling Championships, wouldn’t it be fun to take a look at the brackets and predict winners for each weight class?

No.

Well, too bad. This time you’ll get something and you’ll like it!

So, let’s take off our Penn State hat, scarf, sunglasses, and hoodie and slap on our non-biased cap. I’ll start with looking at the classes I feel the most confident about.

Here are our predictions for the winner of each weight class at the B1G Wrestling Championships:

184 B1G Pre-Seeds
1. Aaron Brooks, Penn State
2. Christopher Weiler, Wisconsin
3. Layne Malczewski, Michigan State
4. Owen Webster, Minnesota
5. John Poznanski, Rutgers
6. Taylor Venz, Nebraska
7. Max Lyon, Purdue
8. Zach Braunagel, Illinois
9. Nelson Brands, Iowa
10. Rocky Jordan, Ohio State
11. Kyle Cochran, Maryland
12. Jaden Bullock, Michigan
13. Jon Halvorsen, Northwestern
14. Santos Cantu III, Indiana

It’s pretty safe to say Aaron Brooks is going to have some stiff competition at 184 in the upcoming NCAA’s. But the B1G’s?

So far this season Brooks has faced mostly lower-seeded grapplers from this list. However, he did get the opportunity to toe the line against Wisconsin’s No. 2 seed Chris Weiler back on Feb 2nd. And it wasn’t pretty for Weiler, as Brooks cruised to a 13-3 major decision.

If this is any indication for how things will unfold this weekend, then Brooks will be in full-on Feast Mode and he’ll be crowned the individual title at 184 for the second consecutive year.
