All The Upsets From Week 1 Of The 2024-25 NCAA Season

A new season is here! And the first week is already in the books! Which means it's time to take a look at all the upsets from week 1!

You can check out the latest NCAA rankings here. All The caveats apply, in that what are upsets at the beginning of the season may not be considered upsets at the end of the season. 

Top 5 Upsets

165: #14 Terrell Barraclough, Utah Valley over #3 Hunter Garvin, Stanford 11-9

133: Ethan Berginc, Army West Point over #2 Anthony Noto, Lock Haven 4-1 SV

There were two very big upsets in the first week of the season. PSU transfer Barraclough provided a highlight for first year Utah Valley head coach Adam Hall, and Army's Ethan "Silent C" Berginc beat NCAA finalist Anthony Noto, who is ranked at 125 (both Bergiinc and Noto wrestled 125 last season).

Upsets By Unranked Wrestlers Who Are Unranked Because They Are Expected To Redshirt

141: Luke Stanich, Lehigh over #7 Sergio Lemley, Michigan 2-2 TB RT

133: Ben Davino, Ohio State over #12 Nic Bouzakis, Ohio State 5-3

133: Ben Davino, Ohio State over #20 Colton Camacho, Edinboro 18-5

Both Stanich and Davino are expected to redshirt and aren't in the rankings. Would these be upsets if Stanich and Davino were the presumed starters and in the rankings? I dunno, maybe!

More Upsets

174: Roman Rogotzke, Indiana over #13 Adam Kemp, Cal Poly 2-1

149: Eugene Harney, Campbell over #14 Gabe Willochell, Wyoming 4-0

184: Ian Bush, West Virginia over #19 Gavin Kane, North Carolina 6-5 SV

133: Joey Fischer, Clarion over #20 Colton Camacho, Edinboro 11-10

157: Bryce Lowery, Indiana over #20 Legend Lamer, Cal Poly 10-3

165: Ethan Barr, Kent State over #21 Noah Mulvaney, Bucknell Fall 5:30

133: Stockton O'Brien, Wyoming over #23 Domenic Zaccone, Campbell Fall 4:03

141: Todd Carter, Gardner-Webb over #23 Greyson Clark, Purdue 8-7

157: Tanner Peake, Davidson over #23 Sonny Santiago, North Carolina 4-2

125: Matthew Lopes, Lehigh over #23 Charlie Farmer, Army West Point 8-2

184: Aidan Brenot, North Dakota State over #24 Dennis Robin, West Virginia Fall 4:38

184: Braxton Lewis, VMI over #24 Dennis Robin, West Virginia Fall 2:59

174: Dalton Harkins, Army West Point over #24 Michael Wilson, Rider 7-3

174: Rylan Rogers, Lehigh over #24 Michael Wilson, Rider 18-4

There were a good number of unranked guys beating guys ranked in the teens and 20s. That's to be expected early in the season when the rankings haven't even extended past 24 people per weight class yet. 

Scarcely An Upset

125: #19 Spencer Moore, North Carolina over #18 Jett Strickenberger, West Virginia 11-2

A 19 over an 18 this early in the season really shouldn't be considered an upset but we're including it here for all you completionists.
