X,

After looking at the 103 bracket it appears that there will only be one wrestler who will be sitting at home who might have the ability to place at state. The 5 wrestlers with 20 plus wins are all pretty "salty" and should make for some interesting match ups.

Besides 103 there are 3 other brackets with 5 or more wrestlers who have won 50% of their matches. The brackets are 125, 135, and 171.

At 125 the top 4 are pretty cut and dry. An upset could occur but I do not see those 4 ranked wrestlers having a challenge from the bottom half of the bracket.

171, squeaks in with 2 wrestlers being one win over .500. The top 3 are cut and dry to me, with one wrestler likely coming out of this regional and going to state with a .550 or lower win percentage.

135, is the one bracket besides 103 where someone will be staying at home who might have a chance at placing. There are 3 ranked wrestlers and 5 total wrestlers who have won 2/3 of their matches.

This is a good regional, but it is not overly difficult to qualify like years past. In ten of the brackets 4 wrestlers or fewer have above .500 records. That means there will be several state qualifiers out of this regional who have won less than half of their matches this season.
