    2026 NCAA Wrestling Championship Official Thread

    The seeding helped a little, but it wasn’t going to matter where Mesenbrink, Barr, Haines, Duke, SVN etc were seeded. The difference is that those dudes look to dominate matches and have the skill to do it. The next evolution for guys like Vega and Robideau is imposing their will on anyone they...

    Anyone who uses a screenshot to argue for a takedown is not a serious person. We all know you need video context

    The Kids Are Alright

    I’m curious if there’s a historical trend to this. I’d expect this year is just particularly strong, but I could also see these results showing a similar story across previous years as well: if a freshman isn’t clearly an all-American contender, they are more likely to be redshirted, which would...

    2026 NCAA Wrestling Selection Show

    Right, Angelo Ferrari is the most inexplicable seed imo. Was seeded 8th in big tens, wrestled to his seed, and then moves up to 7 in NCAA seeding to be opposite Welsh

    Love your stuff, man. For the sake of comparison, what was the %chance for Nebraska to achieve their total last year based on their expected total?

    They were almost all snap go-behinds, though his athleticism and lateral quickness were much more on display in this one compared to his first couple matches where he only had to exert like 1% of his ability

    Oklahoma State V. Virginia Tech

    Man I would love to see Taylor throw out a double-bump lineup tomorrow: 165 - Routledge 174 - Dee 184 - Facundo I think they’d go 3-0 vs 2-1 with Dopps in the lineup. Dee and Facundo aren’t big for their weights so I feel like it definitely won’t happen, but it would be fun to see

    Schedule

    Okay but when a guy already has a 99% of making the tournament, you should start making decisions based on improving his seed instead of trying to increase his chances of making it to 99.5%. Maybe getting an RPI ranking ends up being more important for seeding than one big win, but I feel like...

    That’s kind of a surprising comment for Hamiti to make. Obviously Amine didn’t buy in but I would have thought Fish was bought in—albeit being a more limited wrestler overall. Unless there’s a different transfer that year that I’m just blanking on

    Expected Team Points 1/20/26

    Terrible luck, but his unorthodox style also seems to put so much stress on his ligaments. Probably too late to change the tactics that make him so successful but man it hurts to watch him wrestle
