Great post, I think you'll be mostly right. One exception - I think Takayasu will make a big (last?) push for the yusho and maybe even get it. LET'S GOO!
Also, I look forward to see Fujinokawa meet the higher ranks a lot, it will be a daily highlight. He's got perhaps the most dog in him in the entire world. Hosh kinboshi incoming?
First of all, that gif at the top is hilarious. Those are maybe the only two wrestlers who can be recognized from directly above!
That said, I don't see Kotozakura, Takayasu or even Wakamotoharu suffering make-koshis, even if they get out of it just by 1 win (going 8-7). If Wakatakakage and Ura can get kashi-koshi, so can they.
I think Shodai is low enough in the rankings that he should be able to beat up 8 guys. And if Shishi shows the same kind of improvement he did in January, that M11e rank is going to be in his favor. Kashi-koshis for both.
My heart breaks for Midorifuji, my first favorite rikishi. Hope he recovers soon and doesn't have any long term effects from this situation.
Great post, Tim - I always love reading your predictions. Let's go Kirishima!

Man, I'd love to see Papa Taka take a run at the cup! He's been a bridesmaid so many times, never a bride!
