Conference weekend was absolutely insane! Here are all the upsets we could find from the NCAA qualifying tournaments of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season!

Week 17 Rankings | Upsets: Week 17 | 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 looks like upsets strictly according to the rankings this weekend may not look like upsets by the end of the year!
