Wisconsin at #5 Michigan (7 PM ET)
Who is the true claimant of the Upper Peninsula? We could ask the Yoopers what they think, or we could decide it with a wrestling match! Let's go with the wrestling match, why not? Eleven ranked wrestlers could decide the fate of the Great Lake protuberance, including eight in the top 10.

Hofstra at #16 Rutgers (7 PM ET)
There are no potential ranked matchups, but the host Scarlet Knights could be trotting out six top 20 starters, including #2 Nick Suriano. You'll also want to tune in to see Hofstra's very large and very good heavyweight, Mike Hughes. He is tied for the most DI falls this season and stands at approximately three Nomads tall.
#4 North Carolina St. at Duke (7:30 PM ET)
Hayden Hidlay doesn't have a lot of tests left on his schedule. Can Mitch Finesilver be the first to knock off the undefeated redshirt freshman Wolfpacker this season?
Potential ranked matchups:
157: #3 Hayden Hidlay, NCSU vs. #13 Mitch Finesilver, Duke
#19 Nebraska at Northwestern (8 PM ET)
This Big Ten dual could feature a top 20 wrestler at eight weight classes.
Potential ranked matchups:
149: #12 Colton McCrystal, Nebraska vs. #9 Ryan Deakin, Northwestern
West Virginia at #6 Oklahoma St. (8 PM ET)
Your best chance at seeing fireworks in this dual will probably be at 125 pounds. Nick Piccininni and Zeke Moisey have both placed in the top four of the NCAAs and both have beaten NCAA champ Darian Cruz. More on that potential matchup can be found here.
Potential ranked matchups:
125: #16 Zeke Moisey, WVU vs. #7 Nick Piccininni, OSU
197: #12 Jake Smith, WVU vs. #3 Preston Weigel, OSU
Stanford at #8 Arizona St. (10 PM ET)
This is another chance to see who Zeke Jones starts at 157, Jason Tsirtis or Josh Maruca? Stanford's Nathan Butler gets a shot at proving he belongs in the top five when he potentially sees Tanner Hall at heavyweight.
Potential ranked matchups:
157: #20 Paul Fox, Stanford vs. #7 Josh Shields, ASU
174: #13 Keaton Subjeck, Stanford vs. #1 Zahid Valencia, ASU
285: #6 Nathan Butler, Stanford vs. #4 Tanner Hall, ASU
Utah Valley at Fresno St. (10 PM ET)

SATURDAY, JAN. 20
Oregon St. at #8 Arizona St. (3:30 PM ET)
The lightest and heaviest of weights provide the most potential drama between these classic Pac-12 rivals.
Potential ranked matchups:
125: #9 Ronnie Bresser, OSU vs. #15 Ryan Millhof, ASU
285: #10 Amar Dhesi, OSU vs. #4 Tanner Hall, ASU

Rider at Edinboro (1 PM ET)
There's no chance for a top 20 matchup (unless someone bumps up a weight class or two) but there could be a total of six ranked wrestlers in this EWL slugfest.
Wisconsin at Michigan St. (1 PM ET)
Wait, did we decide what happened to the Upper Peninsula yet? Because Michigan State should probably get a say in the matter. And Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan too. OK fine, I guess we'll leave the Yoopers out of it and just have a normal wrestling match.
#15 Illinois at Purdue (1 PM ET)
Any opportunity to watch Isaiah Martinez during his final collegiate season should be taken advantage of.
Potential ranked matchups:
125: #20 Travis Piotrowski, Illinois vs. #14 Luke Welch, Purdue
165: #2 Isaiah Martinez, Illinois vs. #19 Jacob Morrissey, Purdue
Cal Poly at Air Force (2 PM ET)
The Mustangs will cross the Rockies to try to stop the Falcons in Colorado Springs, CO.
#5 Michigan at #17 Minnesota (2 PM ET)
A whopping 14 ranked wrestlers could trot out onto the mats in Minneapolis. The Gophers will need to build a massive lead in the lightweights if they are going to pull of the upset, as Minnesota has no ranked wrestlers from 174 on up. Meanwhile, Michigan has individuals ranked in the top 20 in each of those divisions.
Potential ranked matchups:
125: #12 Drew Mattin, Michigan vs. #5 Ethan Lizak, Minnesota
133: #6 Stevan Micic, Michigan vs. #12 Mitch McKee, Minnesota
157: #5 Alec Pantaleo, Michigan vs. #19 Jake Short, Minnesota
165: #4 Logan Massa, Michigan vs. #9 Nick Wanzek, Minnesota
#16 Rutgers at #19 Nebraska (2 PM ET)
The most easterly team in the Big Ten travels to the most westerly. The Knights and Huskers are evenly matched in what could be the most hotly contested dual of the weekend.
Potential ranked matchups:
149: #13 Eleazar Deluca, Rutgers vs. #12 Colton McCrystal, Nebraska
157: #17 John Van Brill, Rutgers vs. #8 Tyler Berger, Nebraska
165: #12 Richie Lewis, Rutgers vs. #10 Isaiah White, Nebraska
184: #18 Nick Gravina, Rutgers vs. #7 Taylor Venz, Nebraska
Kent State at #6 Oklahoma St. (2 PM ET)
The Golden Flashes will test their mettle in Stillwater, OK. The Wrestling Nomad and I will be there. Join us!
#10 Virginia Tech at Pittsburgh (2 PM)
Potential ranked matchups:
133: #17 Dennis Gustafson, VT vs. #10 Dom Forys, Pitt
285: #16 Andrew Dunn, VT vs. #15 Ryan Solomon, Pitt
#18 Northern Iowa at #13 South Dakota St. (3 PM ET)
There's only one potential ranked matchup, but that doesn't do justice to the passion and intensity both of these programs bring to every competition. It truly must be seen to be believed.
Potential ranked matchups:
174: #7 Taylor Lujan, UNI vs #10 Luke Zilverberg, SDSU
#3 Iowa at #1 Ohio St. (3:30 PM ET)
Bader and I did a whiteboard war for this one. Will we see PDIII make his Hawkeyes debut? I don't know! Maybe???
Potential ranked matchups:
125: #6 Spencer Lee, Iowa vs. #1 Nathan Tomasello, Ohio State
149: #2 Brandon Sorensen, Iowa vs. #6 Ke-Shawn Hayes, Ohio State
157: #2 Michael Kemerer, Iowa vs. #6 Micah Jordan, Ohio State
165: #7 Alex Marinelli, Iowa vs. #13 Te'Shan Campbell, Ohio State
184: #20 Mitch Bowman, Iowa vs. #2 Myles Martin, Ohio State
197: #5 Cash Wilcke, Iowa vs. #1 Kollin Moore, Ohio State
285: #3 Sam Stoll, Iowa vs. #1 Kyle Snyder, Ohio State
#2 Penn St. at Maryland (4 PM ET)
This will likely end with a lopsided score in favor of the Nittany Lions, but we could get a banger at heavyweight. Nick Nevills won the match with Youssif Hemdia last year, but Hemdia has been much improved in 2017-18. Plus there are those national champs for Penn State too.
Potential ranked matchups:
285: #7 Nick Nevills, PSU vs. #8 Youssif Hemida, Maryland
If you have time to fit all that wrestling into your weekend, then give me access to your time machine, because it is not possible to watch it all without one!
