[GregPickel]

Penn State wrestling will have a record-setting seven No. 1 seeds at the 2026 NCAA Championships, and the three who are not could have some familiar matchups on their path to the podium.

197:
#1 Barr
#2 Rocky Elam (Iowa St.)
#3 Stephen Little (Little Rock)
#4 Sonny Sasso (VT)

DJ Parker (Oklahoma) is the #8 seed, so if they wrestle to seed he'd meet Barr in the quarters.

[zzs006]

Rocco truly got the perfect draw

 

[Cstroke]

One of the most unanticipated events is flos stream crashed

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

Mirasola/Keuter in the 2nd round, winner getting Bastida

 

[Tom McAndrew]

285:
#1 Bastida (Iowa St)
#2 Isaac Trumble (NC St.)
#3 Taye Ghadiali (Michigan)
#4 AJ Ferrari (Nebraska)

Mirasola got the #9 seed, so he could have #8 Keuter (Iowa) in R2, and Bastida in the quarters. That's a tough path.

 

[Coastal2]

It's insane that they played so many "games" with the seeds to create drama.

Lilledahl has two people in the entire bracket who have beaten him. The 8 seed and the 4 seed.

Almost the entire BIG is on one half of the 133 bracket.

 

[pish69]

LOVE these draws! Only one with tough draw is Mirasola because he gets Younger in Quarters if he gets by Keuter.

Rocco got the DREAM draw

 

[MPPosterDeuce]

Putting all the Big10 guys at 133 (Blaze, Davino, Byrd, Ayala) on the same side of the bracket is so stupid. Give us a little variety from what we just saw last weekend. Then Jax and Seidel are all alone on their side.

 

[PSUbluTX]

Looks like @Acacia's bracket reveal thread is the #1 seed and @gimb14's is the 2.

But @backdrft76-1 is about to make things interesting by imposing a penalty point or a double stall call.

 

[Misalorales]

Rocco has a great draw.

 

[MPPosterDeuce]

LOVE these draws! Only one with tough draw is Mirasola because he gets Younger in Quarters if he gets by Keuter.

Rocco got the DREAM draw

Davis has a very tough draw. He's going to be looking at the consolation bracket after round 2.

To me the best 5 are all the freshman. 3 are on the other side. No complaints here

 

[mvattivo]

Let me be clear, we are the bad draw at most weights, and even the two lower seeds aren't a picnic when they come to wrestle. (Directed more at Scooter than Cole). My quick thoughts:

125 - I don't love that both national finalists and the guy who beat him last year are on his side, but, I don't expect it to matter, and he will only wrestle one of them.

133 - I think Jax is the slight favorite to win the whole thing with the way he is wrestling. That said, I kind of wanted to Marcus to be on his side. That bracket will be fun regardless.

141 - Davis was giving Hardy a battle before he gassed. He could be over on the other side meeting Mendez early.

149 - I don't think it matters who Shane wrestles. He needs to be focused. If he is, I like his chances.

157 - Don't love it, but, I think it clicked for PJ and it doesn't matter who is where

165 - It truly doesn't matter. It sucks for those who drew Mitchell's side of the bracket.

174 - I think he and Welsh got the best draws out of our guys

184 - See above

197 - It doesn't matter. It sucks for those who drew Josh's side of the bracket.

285 - Not a great spot for Cole, but, he's going to have to battle no matter where he lands. Needs to win the rubber match with Kueter.

 

[Misalorales]

Patrick Kennedy got a heck of a draw to the semis

 

[Honcho]

The NCAA wrestling bracket release show brought to you by the Oklahoma State video department.

 

[Coastal2]

LOVE these draws! Only one with tough draw is Mirasola because he gets Younger in Quarters if he gets by Keuter.

Rocco got the DREAM draw

I believe Mirasola got the best draw possible if he wanted to make the finals. I'm not saying he will but he can beat Keuter, Bastida isn't a huge heavy and he's right there with Ferrari.

 

[Efejle]

Personally the only thing I was concerned about was being on opposite sides of any and all Cowboy/Buckeye guys other than the obvious 2. And the good news is that we get almost one or the other on the same side of the bracket, so we can take care of business chalk wise. My usual worry is relying on others to get it done against them and of course they don't, see Nebraska last year.

 

[gimb14]

Looks like @Acacia's bracket reveal thread is the #1 seed and @gimb14's is the 2.

But @backdrft76-1 is about to make things interesting by imposing a penalty point or a double stall call.

meh, one was the schedule of thins, mine was bracket reveal so while this one may have had more traffic, it was still the wrong one

Cannon as the 8 seems bad but then look at the 7 in front of him and say who he should replace. Hard to move him above 7 Webster who beat him over the weekend. Swisher? Robideau? Who is he going to replace?
