Darkhorse Derby 2026

I demand a recount

You and me both

@TherealGrip220 here is your recount. And it isn't looking good.

It is a three man race.



And a three horse race.



With 1.5 points separating the top 3 it comes down to which horses are still alive. To keep this interesting no wrestler who is still wrestling is on all three remaining contending teams.

There is a combination of outcomes that will put @topc22blue on top, a different combination that will put @Rock-man on top, and a third combination that will see @Kiddagger311 leap frog them both for the win. As the English say, it is all to play for.

The ref waved off the brick. You waited too long to throw it.

2026 FINAL DARK HORSE DERBY STANDINGS

With an eye for talent like no other and the ability to put together a complete lineup that is rivaled by few, all hail @topc22blue our 2026 Dark Horse Derby Champion. Like PSU he has locked up the title before the finals even start.

Topc, I highly recommend you put this prestigious title at the top of your resume when interviewing for a top recruiting coordinator position. After all with nothing but #17 - #33 seeded wrestlers it looks like you will finish in the top 10 team scores.

To put this in context, last year's winner had 34.5 points. I do not recall the total from the prior, but it was less than that.

Don't anyone bother reading from the bottom up.



At the individual wrestler level anyone who took a chance on lamer was rewarded. From a #20 seed to a 4th place finish aint too shabby.


For those of you who were tempted to take all #17 seeds.....not a great idea.



Finally, if you picked the highest scoring wrestler at each weight your final score would have been 74.
