Requirements are the following: a full, natural cork grip, available in a M or MH fast with less than a 7' length, all graphite, MSRP less than a $100.
St Croix Triumph and Falcon HD are on the list. What else?

I thought this an interesting question, so I hit tackle warehouse for a few of more recognizable names (to me) and found
Fenwick HMG at $99
Lews Laser SG at $49
Lews Perfect Fritts ranging from $70-$99
Shimano Clarus and Crucials, also Compre E series.
Also 13 fishing has 3 models that fit the bill

It's a little above to $100 mark but Kistler has made a Classc Series rod that is awesome. They are going to release a new model each year over the next 5 years. For 2017 it is a 7' MH Fast. Check them out on Kistler.com If you want to try one out, shoot me a pm or hit me up on my cell at 903-348-4834.

In that price range I look for a higher quality used rod. I have purchased many of the rods that I use that way. That way you get a better rod and still stay in your price range. There are plenty of them out there for sale.
