Des Moines Register picks PSU as “sleeper team”

Not to necessarily win the championship (they admit Iowa is a prohibitive favorite) but one to crack the top four.

Personally, I think it’s a little bit of Cael Sanderson left over hero worship at work here.

With Iowa expected to win this thing, it’s really hard to call someone a sleeper team, because Iowa State has been the top contender to the Hawks, but based on the draws, I think Penn State has a real shot at getting a trophy. I like Brad Pataky’s draw at 125, same with Dan Vallimont’s and Cyler Sanderson’s draws. If Frank Molinaro picks off Kyle Ruschell and Lance Palmer, the Nittany Lions can be in position to have picked up some big points. I don’t think they’re a threat to the top position, but if just a few things go right, they’ll be in position for the top four.

The author also has Dan Vallimont making the finals.
