As one of the great bards of the modern era once wrote: "The hits start coming and they don't stop coming." A phrase that perfectly encapsulated the first three weeks of the 2023-24 NCAA D1 wrestling season, as nearly 60 more upsets were registered by the field in week 3. 

Check out our national rankings, upon which our upset calculations were based.

To help parse the large number of upsets, we've grouped this week's results into categories, listed in descending order of the ga between the upseter's rank and the rank of the upsetee.

The usual caveats apply, namely, that some of these upsets won't look like upsets in hindsight, and that some unranked guys are only unranked because they are not the presumed starter at the moment for whatever reason, and thus the upset is on paper only.
