Last year's NCAA finalists earned the top two seeds this season and could be on a collision course in Detroit. The depth of this bracket makes it interesting as some of the most accomplished 141-pounders earned low seeds that could result in some serious shake-ups.

No one has started off the 2021-22 season with a more intrepid schedule than Army West Point. This Friday the Black Knights make it four away duals at Power 5 conference campuses in a row in the EIWA Dual of the Week.

The 2021-2022 NCAA season is just around the corner. This will be the last run at an NCAA Title for many seniors, but there are a few that stick out who haven’t yet won it all. Take a look below as we outline (in weight class order) some of the best group of seniors yet to win an NCAA Championship.

Under the leadership of Pat Popolizio, NC State has vaulted itself into the national conversation and asserted control over the ACC. Now back-to-back-to-back conference champions, NC State is poised to add a fourth-straight with their probable 2021-2022 starting lineup.

The 2021 NCAA Champion Iowa Hawkeyes aren’t going anywhere next season. All six seniors from the team have confirmed they’ll be using their extra year of eligibility and returning. Meaning, Iowa will most likely have the exact same lineup that won them a team title.

North Carolina State star Hayden Hidlay will enter what could possibly be his last NCAA wrestling tournament this weekend with a sparkling resume nearly unmatched in his program’s history.

The longest anyone has ever had to wait for an NCAA Tournament since World War II ended is finally over. The competitors have made their way to St Louis and we are going to crown 10 new champs for the first time since 2019.

I can’t guarantee anything about the 2021 NCAA Championships except that no one will be taking it for granted after what happened last year. Let’s all count our blessings that we get to watch three days of excellent college wrestling.

Soon there will be a gathering where the Big Ten 141-pounders will vie for the great prize. While the fate of humanity does not hinge on the outcome, it is still a pretty big deal. As this strange covid season of 2021 reaches the conclusion, we find the top four ranked wrestlers in the country all in the same conference. 

The post-season is here. We have to wait an extra week for the biggest and baddest conference tournament of them all, but that just gives us more time to preview, prognosticate, and predict what will happen. Below is the projected seed for every weight at the Big Ten tournament with the number of allocations listed below. Pre seeds will be released early next week.

Daton Fix has arrived. The Cowboy went 4-0 at the Cowboy Challenge Tournament with three falls and added another pin to his record after Bedlam on Sunday. However, he stays below Gable Steveson because of Gable's superior strength of schedule.

Two weeks after releasing our first set Dan Hodge Trophy rankings, we have our first updated set! Three wrestlers from the first set; Logan Massa, Noah Adams, and Boo Lewallen, took losses and were taken out. Previous #9, Mekhi Lewis, injury defaulted in the third period after trailing the entire match to Jake Wentzel, so he was shown the door as well.

We've got Sunday Big Ten wrestling on tap between #8 Ohio State and #14 Rutgers. The action starts at 12:00 PM EST, 11:00 CT. With 12 ranked individuals including #1 Sebastian Rivera at 141 and #1 Sammy Sasso at 149, this will be an action-packed dual.

Last week's announcement that the Ivy League is canceling winter sports is, first of all, sad, but after the emotional smoke has cleared, that announcement also changes the landscape of college wrestling for the 2020-2021 season. According to our rankings in May, Cornell was the #2 team in the country, and Princeton was #14. The Ivy League combined to represent over 10% of the total available team points at NCAAs. So what happens to those points, and who wins the most?

On this episode of The Bader Show, Bader and Nomad catch up with Sebastian Rivera and Matt Storniolo
