The New Year's Ball in Times Square isn't the only thing dropping tonight. We've got brackets for the Southern Scuffle, the premier holiday tournament of the 2022-23 college wrestling season, right here!

Stanford's Shane Griffith nabs the number one seed at 165. He'll have a handful of ranked wrestlers to battle through if he wants to earn a second Scuffle title, following his 2020 crown. Griffith's teammate, Jaden Abas, has the top seed at 149. 

Two #2 ranked wrestlers, Daton Fix at 133 and Ethan Laird at 197, also earned top seeds. The brackets are subject to change after weigh-ins, but as long as Laird and Fix step on the scale on-weight they'll retain those seeds on Sunday. 

A pair of Boilermakers have top seeds in Kendall Coleman at 157 and Matt Ramos at 125. And two more Cowboys from Oklahoma State have the same seed as Daton Fix, with All-Americans Dustin Plott at 174 and Travis Wittlake at 184. 

Northern Colorado and Missouri each have a top-seeded wrestler with Andrew Alirez for the Bears at 141 and Zach Elam at 285 for the Tigers. 

First whistle is scheduled for 10:00 AM ET Sunday inside McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga.
