2026 NCAA Wrestling 🤼

I just glanced at the brackets as they were released around 7 pm. I’m kind of surprised Forrest is the #1 seed, but I can understand it as well.

Looking forward to watching it go down in Cleveland!

Haven’t had a chance to sit down and look at them yet. I’ll make time today

I don’t know who, but I don’t think Levi walks away with it at 174. That’s my upset pick of the tournament. I could also see VanNess losing one at 149. No easy route for Iowa according to the seeds and brackets. I still see Caliendo get his revenge over Blaze and ultimately losing to Mitchell in the finals.

Penn State has 7 #1 seeds. If the O/u is 5.5 national champions for Penn State what would you take?

I’m no gambler, but if I had to pick, I have Messenbrink, Barr, and PJ Duke as going thr distance. They’ve got a good chance at 125, 133, and 174 but those classes are stacked. 149, 187, they have a chance, but I see weakness in those 2 weights for them

I just hastily filled out my bracket. I have Penn state with 4. Van Ness, Duke, Messenbrink, and Haines.

I have:
125- Seymoor
133- Forrest
141- Mendez
149- Van Ness
157- Duke
165- messenbrink
174- Haines
184-Sinclair
197- Elam
Hwt- Ghadiali

I agree with the exception of 174#. Levi is in the post season zone and I look for him to get it done this year.

Should be a fun one!

gotta love Ghadiali especially after beating Ferrari last weekend. Josh Barr is a beast and after watching the Big 12 finals I can't put Elam above him.

Cheers!

I agree, but last week against Minto, has to be one of the worst matches I’ve ever seen him wrestle going all the way back to when he was a freshman. I like Levi and hope he gets it done, but he’s going to have to do more than he did last week in the big10 finals to get it done

Barr was impressive at the Big Tens. It was a tough pick going with Elam.

Haines had a close match against Minto in the big ten finals and won on that penalty point but until someone even sniffs Haines legs I’ll go with Levi. And haines says he wants to go Dall sheep hunting with a bow

if there is a sleeper with a chance at a huge upset, Sergio Vega over Jesse Mendez. That match if it happens will be

The top quarter bracket at 125 has like 5 past All Americans including the champion and the runner up who will meet in the quarters Friday morning.

I picked Forrest at 133 to win the title but it is hard for me to fathom a kid who was in high school 2 months ago can win it all. I haven’t seen that Larkin wrestle but the bottom side of the bracket has 4 that are capable of making a finals run, 2 that have.

Iowa has had a finalist for 35 straight years. Going by the seeds they don’t have one this year. Can Caliendo get to the finals again? Can Angelo Ferrari pull one out? Or maybe Ayala pull of the surprise? I think they get 1 to the finals.

This is going to be fun!

I tried really hard to pick against Van Ness at 149. In no way could I see him not making the finals. His top of the bracket is as weak as any bracket ever.
