The NCAA D1 Upsets Keep Coming In Week 16
The NCAA D1 Upsets Keep Coming In Week 16
All the upsets we could find from week 16 of the 2024-25 NCAA D1 wrestling season!

We are rounding the home stretch of the 2024-25 NCAA D1 wrestling season, but that doesn't stop the upsets!
The usual caveats apply, what look like upsets now may not be upsets at the end of the year.
Additionally, some unranked wrestlers are only unranked because they are redshirting or presumed not to be the starter, as is the case for Matty Lopes, Troy Hohman, and Aden Valencia. We left those results in even though their qualification as an upset is even less tenuous.
Below are all the upsets we could find from week 16, listed by the difference between rankings from greatest to least. Let us know if we missed anything!
