Wrestelstat has it 6-4 Minnesota (all decisions with no bonus points) They have the UW winning at 33, 49, 65 and 97.

Lots of interesting matchups with either team winning up to 8 matches.

125 McKee over Barnett.     Mn 3-Wi 0
133 Burwick over Gliva.  mn 3-Wi 3
141 Bergeland over Zargo.  Mn 6-Wi 3
149 Gomez over Blockhus.  Mn 6-Wi 6
157 Lee over Model.           Mn 10-Wi 6
165 Hamiti over Carlson.    Mn 10-Wi 9
174 O'Reilly over McNally.   Mn 13-Wi 9
184 Salazar over Weiler.      Mn 16-Wi 9
197 Amos over Foy.             Mn 16-Wi 13
285 Steveson over Hilger.     Mn 20-Wi 13

Would not be surprised at upsets by Carlson or Blockhus.  Foy is dangerous as well but Amos is a legitimate butt+kicker.

So Minnesota wins every tossup? Good luck with that.

I would consider Gliva/Burwick close to a toss up.

[PAUL]

Looks like it could be a barn-burner - lots of pretty close matches that can hinge on a single move or mistake.

I can see a tie, I could see WI winning every match other than HWT and I can see MN winning 7-8. There I think I covered the entire fence, WI wins 19-15.

Looks like several weights have very similar rankings and could be "toss ups" (although these are last weeks rankings)

125 # 7 Mckee vs # 4 Barnett , although McKee has won the last few
133 #24 Gilva vs #25 Burwick
141 #19 Bergeland vs #24 Zargo
174 #23 Oreily vs #17 McNally
184: MnBadger, how come Skillings wrestled against Iowa but Salazar will against Wisconsin? 
197 #24 Braxton vs # #30 Foy

These 6 Matches will obviously determine the match as I think Wisconsin is favored at 149 and 165 and Minnesota is favored at 157 and HWT
Should be an excellent dual!   

[MNbadger]

What toss ups did I claim for MN?  At the end I mentioned losses that could flip for MN(Carlson, Blockhus, and Foy) but I am counting them as losses.  What toss ups are you referring to?   

125 McKee over Barnett.     Mn 3-Wi 0
133 Burwick over Gliva.  mn 3-Wi 3
141 Bergeland over Zargo.  Mn 6-Wi 3
149 Gomez over Blockhus.  Mn 6-Wi 6
157 Lee over Model.           Mn 10-Wi 6
165 Hamiti over Carlson.    Mn 10-Wi 9
174 O'Reilly over McNally.   Mn 13-Wi 9
184 Salazar over Weiler.      Mn 16-Wi 9
197 Amos over Foy.             Mn 16-Wi 13
285 Steveson over Hilger.     Mn 20-Wi 13

Would not be surprised at upsets by Carlson or Blockhus.  Foy is dangerous as well but Amos is a legitimate butt+kicker.

I am not sure Salazar will be back.  He hurt his knee or ankle in the Scuffle.  If Skillings wrestles it could be a fall for the Badgers in their favor.  I don't see Gliva giving Burwick as good a match as you guys think he will.  I would be happy to see it though!.

Guessing MN 20-13 with home mat advantage, If in Madison I would think Badgers win strong

[wrestlemania]

Basically the dual should come down to, barring the unexpected, to these weight classes: 141, 174 and 184
