With conference tournaments looming and NCAA seeding implications tightening, the latest FloWrestling Top-25 team tournament rankings carry increasing weight. Updated on Feb. 24, the team race remains headlined by a dominant Penn State squad, but the margin battles behind the Nittany Lions continue to intensify.

Penn State Wrestling holds firm at No. 1 with 160 points, maintaining a sizable cushion over No. 2 Ohio State (89) and No. 3 Oklahoma State (88.5). Iowa State and Nebraska round out the top five, each staying in position as teams jockey for critical tournament points in March.

Further down the rankings, movement continues to shape the landscape. Stanford climbs to No. 12, while Arizona State makes a notable jump to No. 14. Purdue and SIUE are tied at No. 19, and South Dakota State and UNI share the No. 21 spot as the team race tightens across the board.
