And here are Iowa's nine first round matches. They'll be favored to win 8 of them -- all but 165.  To mount a challenge for the national title, Iowa needs to do three things: keep wrestlers alive on the championship half of the bracket as long as possible, get as many bonus points as possible, and do damage in the consolation bracket when/if they get sent down there.  They can't do anything but that last point just yet -- they just need to avoid the consolation bracket as long as possible.  Hopefully Iowa can win all of these R1 matches (including the upset at 165) and pick up some bonus points along the way.

I'll try to post results and limited PBP in the comments.  I'll also try to update the mat assignments in the comments.

The usual rules apply.
