Flow Wrestling released new NCAA team projections — and they have Ohio State ranked ahead of Penn State. Host Zach Seyko reacts to the surprising prediction and explains why it’s flawed, breaking down the individual matchups, rankings context, and what’s missing from the numbers. He also updates listeners on Masanosuke Ono’s kidney injury, which forces him to withdraw from Japan’s Emperor’s Cup, and details what this means for his Penn State future. In segment two, Zach dives into the 197-pound storyline as Josh Barr continues to recover from injury and Connor Mirasola makes a case for a potential wrestle-off — could Penn State have the two best 197-pounders in the country? Finally, Zach previews the Penn State vs. Wyoming dual meet, highlighting the top matchups to watch, including Mirasola vs. Joey Novak, Rocco Welsh vs. Eddie Knightenbach, and Cole Mirasola vs. Christian Carroll, while explaining why Penn State could still dominate from top to bottom despite lineup uncertainties.
