Oshirokita

Wow, what a move by Aonishiki to slip around Hoshoryu and get a rear grip for the win. I am going to watch that match ten more times!

15. Kotoshoho

14. Hiradoumi I thought my Day 13 pick was pretty solid but even though I got all the important leader pairings correct, the Kyokai had other ideas for Ura. I don't think Hiradoumi is the best choice for Day 14, but suspect that the Kyokai will pick him anyways.

A bit into left field: 13. Abi

12. Wakatakakage

11. Takayasu This is the first day that I feel there is some small uncertainty of Ura's aite. I could see a lower ranked Maegashira (like Shodai) being paired with him now or soon. If the rank and filers had more than 6 wins and the best sanyaku had less then 9 wins, then sanyaku pairings to strong lower rankers would be warranted now.

10. Takanosho Could be some interesting variance in the coming days.

9. Wakamotoharu

8. Hoshoryu

Well, these days actual Mitakeumi looks a lot like a makushita Mitakeumi on some days... ;-)
