Here are my predictions for the seeds at 149. It's my understanding that the seeding committee gives the most weight to record in the Big 10 Dual season, and then uses matchups outside of the dual season (e.g. tourneys like NCAA Duals and Midlands) as tiebreakers. I've listed each wrestlers overall record and Big 10 Dual season record (excluding any forfeits). I've also listed wins/losses to wrestlers that impacted their seeding (rather than all their wins/losses in the Big 10 dual season).
