Dual meet season concludes! And with dual meets come upsets! Here are all the upsets we could find from the final week of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling regular season!

Week 16 Rankings | Upsets: Week 16 | Week 15 | Week 14 | Week 13 | Week 12 | Week 11 | Week 10 |Week 8 | Week 7 | Week 6 | Week 5 | Week 4| Week 3 | Week 2 | Week 1

Please note that there were no wrestling competitions in week 9 of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season, hence there is no upset article for week 9 of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season.

All the usual caveats apply. What look like upsets strictly according to the rankings in week 17 may not look like upsets by the end of the year, or even by Conference Championship Week!
