Dozens Of Upsets In The Penultimate Week Of The Regular Season

It's the second to last week of the regular season and the upsets are still popping off. Here's all we could find from the 16th week of the 2023-24 NCAA D1 college wrestling season. 

The usual caveats apply: results that look like upsets according to the rankings this week may not look like upsets by the end of the season. 

Major Upsets

These matches had the winning wrestler wrestler ranked 10 spots or more spots lower than their opponent. That will almost certainly have a sizable impact on the rankings. 

285: #32 Seth Nevills, Maryland over #10 Yaraslau Slavikouski, Rutgers - 5-2

165: Chris Moore, Illinois over #15 Maxx Mayfield, Northwestern - 5-4

184: #28 TJ Stewart, Virginia Tech over #12 Reece Heller, Pittsburgh - 2-1 SV

197: #28 Justin Rademacher, Oregon State over #15 Nikolas Stemmet, Stanford - 14-4

184: #26 Troy Fisher, Northwestern over #14 Jacob Nolan, Binghamton - 7-3

125: #15 Patrick McKee, Minnesota over #3 Eric Barnett, Wisconsin - Fall 4:47

174: Tate Picklo, Oklahoma over #24 Brayden Thompson, Oklahoma State - 5-2 SV

Decent Upsets

These matches had the winning wrestler ranked between nine and five spots lower than their opponent. They will likely have a modest impact on the rankings. 

165: #23 Tyler Lillard, Indiana over #15 Maxx Mayfield, Northwestern - 8-2

141: #19 Cole Matthews, Pittsburgh over #12 Tom Crook, Virginia Tech - Fall 8:13 SV

125: Dom Mendez, Cal Poly over #28 Elijah Griffin, California Baptist - 4-1

184: #24 Nate Dugan, Princeton over #19 Maximus Hale, Penn - 4-1 SV

285: #13 Josh Heindselman, Oklahoma over #8 Konner Doucet, Oklahoma State - 2-1

Minor Upsets

These matches had the winning wrestler ranked between four and one spots lower than their opponent. They will likely have a minimal impact on the rankings. 

157: #18 Brayton Lee, Indiana over #14 Will Lewan, Michigan - 2-1

165: #19 Brevin Cassella, Binghamton over #15 Maxx Mayfield, Northwestern - 5-0

149: Justin Rivera, Campbell over #32 Matthew Williams, Chattanooga - 2-1

174: Benny Baker, Cornell over #33 Alex Faison, NC State - 8-4

Technical Upsets

These matches might only be considered upsets because the unranked wrestler is not the presumed starter for their team. Their impact on the rankings is uncertain.

285: Lucas Cochran, Penn State over #10 Yaraslau Slavikouski, Rutgers - 8-3

174: Terrell Barraclough, Penn State over #16 Jackson Turley, Rutgers - 4-3

165: Gunner Filipowicz, Army West Point over #18 Andrew Cerniglia, Navy - 5-4
