2023 NCAA Pick'Em

I thought this was the year Fix was finally going to get to the top of the podium. He shows no offense in any match after the first round. Gets a pin in Rd.1, wins 8-4 against a 15 seed, wins a controversial match against Byrd (#10) by 3-2 then gets taken apart by Arajau 11-3. Top level recruit and great record over his career - but fell short of what most thought he would accomplish. I pondered that pick longer than any other. Fail.
Between him and Lee, I lost my butt.

The 2017 Flowrestling Big Board had a top three that was clear of the rest of the field and was up for debate on who was #1. #3 was Yianni, #2 was Spencer, #1 was Daton. Amazing career, but compared to his peers it has to be seen as a minor letdown.
 
Well when Lee lost I didn't think it would be a substantial hit considering 79 had him too. However now sliding to 6th is pretty substantial for the 20 that don't have him, especially those in the top 3 for me lol. I'm lazy, and @bdhof your means of looking are easier, did anyone have Ramos? Who were the 2 and 3 most picked 125s? Enlighten us as you so kindly do.

I had Noto, but not sure who most else had

Note: This award has the largest probability of change, as numerous teams are just a few pts away from 50th place.
 
The Goldilocks Meaty Oaker Award has had wild swings every round. 24 teams are w/in 4 pts (one finalist win) of the latest group. While the Top 5 and Bottom 3 have some consistency from round to round, this one swings wildly. Only CoachHoversten has managed to appear in the middle more than once. So, the teams above are certainly not the only competitors.

Old enough to remember watching the following events live on tv…

Beatles on Ed Sullivan
Neal Armstrong walks on the moon
And now I’ll add watching Spencer get pinned in his final ncaa match. Amazing career, hopefully more to come.
