Badgers are 8th overall and 5th for BIG. Great conference! It will be a fun year.

I'm actually surprised to see them put Theilke and Jordan up there so high before they have yet to compete. Hope they can live up to/exceed those early rankings. Eighth for the Badgers is also a pleasant surprise given the turbulence over the past few seasons. Hope they can hold something around that placement at the end of the season.

I'm really curious to see how well Taylor does this year at 125. Does anybody know if he has some experience against any of the currently ranked guys?

I could see Taylor & Liegel ranked in the top 20 by the end of the year.

couple of things:
1) great to see as a team! That has to get us all pumped up
2) this is going to motivate Jesse even more to win matches and get on the podium.

Taylor wrestled up at 133 last year and lost to Zane Richards 9-7. Zane Richards is ranked 13th at 133. IMO he should be pretty tough this year at 125 assuming he is healthy.
