The 2020 Flo NCAA Award For Team Upset Of The Year
The 2020 Flo NCAA Award For Team Upset Of The Year
The nominees for the best NCAA D1 team upset of the 2019-20 season.
Nobody got the ending they wanted from the 2019-20 season. Covid-19 canceled the NCAA Championship Tournament, truncating a superb season before it could be properly concluded. But that doesn't mean we can't honor the extraordinary efforts the student-athletes put forth on the mat.

Rider 21, Minnesota 17
The Broncs didn't wrestle like a small school when they traveled to Minneapolis to beat the Gophers in their home gym. The key individual upset was Dean Sherry pinning All-American Devin Skatzka at 164-pounds.
Northern Iowa 19, Oklahoma State 15
The hype for this match was too great for West Gym. The Panther Train toppled the Cowboys in front of over 4,000 ecstatic fans in the McLeod Center. Bryce Steiert and Keaton Geerts picked up key wins in the dual for UNI.
Michigan State 19, Wisconsin 17
The Badgers were looking like a trophy team this season, but Sparty had other plans for them in a late-season dual in Madison. Layne Malczewski got much-needed bonus points with a pin over Jared Krattiger, and Cam Caffey delivered a clutch win over Johnny Sebastian to push Michigan State over the top.
