“I think that soon the presidents will overcome their concerns and sign a deal with Amazon. A week later, could he flip the script? Provo's best performance this year came when he took third at the Southern Scuffle and defeated a pair of ranked opponents.According to Frank Carney, a former Time -Warner program executive who is retired but who still has strong Pac-12 ties. Over the weekend, the two met for the first time and Provo gave Kaylor all he could handle in a 3-2. He's 0-4 officially in his career against the Sun Devil star, but had also lost to Courtney during his redshirt season.īefore another round in the Courtney/Kaylor saga, the Beaver All-American will need to get by Stanford freshman Nico Provo. In addition, Kaylor will try to stop his own streak. It'll be another OSU wrestler that tries to bring that winning streak to a screeching halt as All-American Brandon Kaylor represents his primary competition. Courtney hasn't lost to a conference opponent since the Oregon State's Ronnie Bresser during 2018-19 regular season. In each of the last two seasons, he's also gone on to earn All-American honors, with a high-water mark being a 2021 NCAA finals appearance. Arizona State's Brandon Courtney is in search of his fourth Pac-12 crown. A pair of All-Americans lead the way, while a freshman isn't far behind them. Right off the bat, we start with one of the conference's toughest weights. Wrestlers bolded are the ones we have pegged to receive automatic qualifying bids at their respective weight classes. The way the different conference tournaments have been structured, you should be able to watch the Pac-12 finals (along with the Big 12) at the end of Sunday evening, after a long weekend of action.īelow is our weight-by-weight preview of the action, along with predictions for top-four finishers at all ten weights and a team race projection. Rob Koll's team features two past All-Americans and a squad that also fares better in a large tournament setting.

The final contender is the host Stanford. Will that regular season success translate to tournaments? Speaking of balance, Cal Poly had a perfect Pac-12 dual season and comes in with a very solid set of starters. Between the Beavers performance at the Pac-12 tournament last year and their three All-Americans two weeks later, they have proven that Chris Pendleton and staff can get the most out of their wrestlers at the right time. They will start the tournament with four number-one seeds and have a well-balanced lineup.

The Beavers are battle-tested and formidable.

Once again, Oregon State should be a key player in the team race. We saw that last season as the Sun Devils edged Oregon State by a half-point for their third straight title. With a small tournament like the Pac-12, anything can happen. Arizona State, as currently constructed, should function well in a large tournament format. Injuries have decimated ASU and their dual record suffered. That may still happen, but the Sun Devils have come back to the pack. At the beginning of the season, this conference looked like it would be won by Arizona State, running away. On a busy weekend, out on the west coast, the Pac-12 Championships will take place on the campus of Stanford University.
