Wrestling 2026 Rutgers NCAA Tournament Thread

The other conferences should just be thankful that Penn State can’t enter their back-ups.
Probably no. He is much more aware where he is now and the fact his bread is not getting buttered. Had he been coaching in the B1G, the crickets would be deafening. Boy did he get hammered.Did Joe forget he wrestled in the big 10
And Princeton got 3 at large and the big 10 had 7 total. Joe was lost on this one
SCW with a great seed and great draw. Ryder has one arm and could barely function at big 12s and the 6 seed from Wyoming is very beatable
Dang, can’t believe Ryder got the #22 seed… I believe he beaten SCW in the past.. not ideal first matchup.
Ryder has one arm and can’t do anything and took inj time 2-3 times every match at big 12s if SCW can’t beat him now he doesn’t deserve his seed
Other than Shawver they all got good draws, avoiding big 10 matchups.
In response to the Dubuque complaining about seeds, wonder what his thought process was when his conference got a million at large bids during Covid when the Ivy’s weren’t wrestling.

Ah ok didn’t know he was inj.. guess that explains his record… if he somehow does fully heal before nationals though that’s going to be a really tough out. I agree, hopefully SCW can beat him bc the #6 seed ,Eddie Neitenbach, looks beatable indeed.
If Shawver and Brown both lose their first match they will meet in the cons… eternal rivals..
Seeds and first round much better than hope for. Should be an exciting tournament with Rutgers surprising. Agree with SWC’s opportunity. After seeing Ryder wrestle with one arm surprised he is wrestling.
He’s not healing without surgery and honestly he couldn’t score all year with 2 healthy shoulders
NCAA Wrestling Championships 2026: Brackets for all 10 weight classes released
The NCAA Wrestling Championships are set eight days from now and the 2026 edition has revealed the brackets for all 10 weight classes.
Yeah I don’t understand that one
Shawver finished higher in the big 10 tournament, went 8-7 in conference bouts while Brown went 4-7, and Shawver has the 2-1 head to head advantage.
If previous year criteria is a thing, Shawver has also finished higher than Brown in every national tournament including beating Brown at nationals last year.
I disagree. I think most of our guys despite being lower seeds have winnable first round matches and are in decent position to advance in consolations.
Shawver, SCW, Catka have very tough first rounds.Cotton, Olivieri, Clark and Pinto are in good positions first round.Smith and Barbosa, are 50/50
There is a potential for Peterson and Ayden to meet in 2nd round. They are both underdogs on paper.
It seems like there has been a Renteria wrestling forever.
Don’t think previous year criteria is a thing. Try checking their actual wins and losses. Shawver took some bad losses to unranked guys and maybe Brown had some better wins over ranked guys this year. He was ranked higher then Shawver overall before Shawver’s wins over him so that could be why Brown ended up with the higher seed is my suspicion.
Ayden is an underdog to Renteria(9). And Peterson is a pretty big fav over Nebraska kid (25). Yeah, if Ayden won good chance him and Peterson meet round 2… now that would be interesting.
Check out Ryder’s injuries and what he did in the Big 12 Tourney. SCW is on a good position. Like his seed.
