Get on over and vote!

It amazes me how many people pick Bowers over Palmer when Garrett hasnt been able to compete with Brayden. The last 2 times they wrestled Palmer has owned him. Same with people taking Eason over Shrader, when the 2 times they wrestled this year it was all Shrader. Yes i know eason pinned him the 1st time but if you actually watched the match, Jack was having his way and got caught. He didnt make the same mistake the 2nd time and majored him. Smh. The bias is real

I was thinking the same thing. Regardless of how their past matchups went, Shrader won the latest match. He gets my vote until proven otherwise. The same thing with Palmer. I'd pick him over anyone but TJ. I think Hicks beat Simpson by like 10 points this season. It's like people are voting with their hearts instead of the actual results that happened this season. There are several other weights where the results were ignored besides the ones you mentioned. Walling has 67% of the votes, but Wesnofske has already beat Walling this season in an actual match 4-0. Bowers pinned Simpson, but Simpson got voted in. Rippy lost to Fowler. Fowler lost to Mathews in the same tournament. Yet Rippy got voted in over Mathews. I'm sure there are a lot more that way if I took the time to look through the brackets.

Let's do a Grand Championship like we see elsewhere. Still can't believe California still does. BTW: many may not remember Sammy Evans was a top five in CA at one time. Freshman year early on I do believe

yeah there are a few. The rippy over mathews one im more ok with because they didnt wrestle so it is just speculation. But the others are ridiculous

As in Reiniche dominant over Dendy? If I don't remember correctly we all already saw that match?

[Bump11]

We saw 2 very close matches with 2 different winners. Both couldve gone either way. We also just saw Reiniche almost win a National title, including beating the #7 guy in the country, when Dendy finished 5th.. and Mason should've won. Got screwed in the finals. The voting should be closer yes, but i personaly voted for Reiniche
