This NCAA wrestling season has been drama filled, mostly because of off-the-mat factors, but competition chaos has been picking up. This week, we had double digit top ten upsets. Here's every one we could find. If you saw an upset we missed, email david.bray@flosports.tv or dm @_davidbray on Twitter.
125
Pay attention to the parity at 125 this year. Spencer Lee is the clear favorite, but the rest is up for grabs. The headliner here is Pat McKee who took out #2 RayVon Foley. Brody Teske racked up two upsets, including one over #7 Alex Mackall. Check out all six upsets.
#22 Patrick Mckee, Minnesota D;10-6 #2 RayVon Foley, Michigan State
#25 Brody Teske, Northern Iowa D;6-4 #7 Alex Mackall, Iowa State
#21 Malik Heinselman, Ohio State D;9-2 #13 Justin Cardani, Illinois
#15 Dylan Ragusin, Michigan D;5-4 #14 Brock Hudkins, Indiana
Mason Naifeh, Oklahoma D;3-1 #17 Killian Cardinale, West Virginia
#25 Brody Teske, Northern Iowa D;12-10 #24 Connor Brown, Missouri
133
No top 10 upsets at 133, but we still had plenty of action. Of note, Iowa State's Ramazan Attasauov seems to be getting the hang of folkstyle. If his folkstyle potential matches his freestyle prowess, he could make a big difference for Iowa State.
Darren Miller, Bucknell D;4-1 #11 Anthony Madrigal, Oklahoma
Ramazan Attasauov, Iowa State D;5-2 #12 Jack Skudlarczyk, Northern Iowa
Jared Van Vleet, Air Force M;14-4 #13 Zach Price, South Dakota State
Bryce West, Northern Illinois D;9-6 #20 Andrew Marten, Central Michigan
Lucas Byrd, Illinois D;2-0 #25 Jordan Decatur, Ohio State
141
The one upset at 141 is an important one. Allan Hart has gone from a guy in a Mizzou lineup battle to a 141-pounder with a handful of ranked wins, and now one over #4 Ian Parker. Missouri has raised its stock every week, and Allan has been at the Hart of it.
#11 Allan Hart, Missouri D;7-4 #4 Ian Parker, Iowa State
149
The #24 and #25 wrestlers in the country went down this week, and while that might not be huge news, the success of true freshman Ed Scott is worth noting. He was excellent in high school and could be a difference maker at 149.
Casey Cobb, Navy D;5-2 #24 Jimmy Hoffman, Lehigh
Ed Scott, NC State M;14-1 #25 Denton Spencer, Virginia
157
Hofstra's Holden Heller pinned #7 Markus Hartman making big waves at 157. Jalin Harper's win over #11 Justin Ruffin and Garrett Model's win over #22 Eijah Cleary were nice as well.
Holden Heller, Hofstra F;2:13 #7 Markus Hartman, Army West Point
Jalin Harper, Oklahoma State D;6-0 #11 Justin Ruffin, SIU Edwardsville
Garrett Model, Wisconsin D;3-2 #22 Elijah Cleary, Ohio State
165
The two upsets here weren't too surprising as they came between guys within three spots of one another.
#14 Jake Keating, Virginia D;4-3 #11 Thomas Bullard, NC State
#16 Andrew Sparks, Minnesota D;9-7 #13 Jake Tucker, Michigan State
174
Peyton Mocco is up a weight from where he started the season, but he's still looking solid with a win over #12 Julien Broderson. Minnesota's Jake Allar was all over #17 Drew Hughes.
#25 Peyton Mocco, Missouri F;:54 #12 Julien Broderson, Iowa State
Jake Allar, Minnesota M;13-1 #17 Drew Hughes, Michigan State
184
Nelson Brands stole the show in the Iowa vs Nebraska dual when he majored #6 Taylor Venz. By most accounts, he was considered a backup to start the year, and now he's looking like a serious All-American contender. Jordan, Braunagel, and Weiler took turns beating each other, and we had six upsets over all.
Nelson Brands, Iowa M;13-5 #6 Taylor Venz, Nebraska
#10 Zach Braunagel, Illinois D;2-0 #9 Rocky Jordan, Ohio State
#13 Christopher Weiler, Wisconsin D;8-2 #10 Zach Braunagel, Illinois
Kyle Kretzer, The Citadel D;6-1 #12 Matthew Waddell, Chattanooga
#19 Layne Malczewski, Michigan State D;9-6 #18 Owen Webster, Minnesota
Macartney Parkinson, Purdue D;9-4 #25 Jack Jessen, Northwestern
197
Wyatt Koelling got a nice upset in extra matches over #17 Marcus Coleman proving Missouri's depth at 197. Pelham and Koser also had top 25 wins.
Wyatt Koelling, Missouri D;6-4 #17 Marcus Coleman, Iowa State
Landon Pelham, Central Michigan D;6-3 #21 Gage Braun, Northern Illinois
#24 Jacob Koser, Navy D;6-1 #22 Jake Jakobsen, Lehigh
285
Unranked Luke Luffman made a major impact on the rankings this weekend with wins over #6 Tate Orndorff and #5 Trent Hillger. The Orndorff win helped Illinois' efforts to stay undefeated with an 18-15 victory over Ohio State. Isley, Heald, and Harris also had excellent showings.
Luke Luffman, Illinois D;4-3 #5 Trent Hillger, Wisconsin
Luke Luffman, Illinois D;3-2 #6 Tate Orndorff, Ohio State
#10 Carter Isley, Northern Iowa D;3-2 #8 Zach Elam, Missouri
Robert Heald, Army West Point D;4-3 #22 Zachary Knighton-Ward, Hofstra
Austin Harris, Oklahoma State D;6-4 #24 Colton McKiernan, SIU Edwardsville
