There are lots of familiar faces in this weight with Yianni Diakomihalis leading the way. The Cornell senior won a pair of NCAA titles at 141 pounds (2018-19) before moving up to 149 for the 2022 campaign where he won his third championship.

The bracket at 149 lbs has a clear favorite in Yianni Diakomihalis, but it also has the kind of volatility fans love to see in March. Several wrestlers outside the top 8 seeds could finish, and in fact, have finished on the podium which makes for a chaotic forecast.

NCAA Championship Tournament seeds don't always align with expectations. Outside of the coaches' poll, however, there is essentially no human element is involved. A seed is determined by a national qualifier's body of work over the course of the season, as well as that of his competitors, and then a formula which is applied to everyone.

For some time now the topic in major team sports leagues has been the formation of super teams and what they can accomplish. With the movement in coaching this summer the question should now arise: what about coaching super staffs in college wrestling? Some may come easily to mind but there are more than you may think.

Under the leadership of Pat Popolizio, NC State has vaulted itself into the national conversation and asserted control over the ACC. Now back-to-back-to-back conference champions, NC State is poised to add a fourth-straight with their probable 2021-2022 starting lineup.

Remember, quarterfinal wins are worth seven team points, plus bonus. Iowa is in first with 33.5 points and eight quarterfinalists. Penn State is behind them with 28 points and seven in the quarters, and Missouri behind them with 23.5 points and four quarterfinalists.
