The Upsets Keep Piling Up In Week 2 Of The NCAA Season
The Upsets Keep Piling Up In Week 2 Of The NCAA Season
All the upsets between D1 NCAA wrestlers from week 2 of the 2024-25 season.
More early season chaos as the upsets continue to pile up during the 2024-25 NCAA D1 wrestling season!
Between two massive Journeymen Wrestling events, a handful of tournaments and a bunch of duals, the college wrestling landscape was rocked with 50 upsets.
The usual caveats apply, however, as results that look like upsets now may not be considered upsets by the end of the season, or even by next week.
Below are all the upsets from week 2 won by unranked wrestlers, though keep in mind that some wrestlers, like Luke Stanich, are unranked because they are assumed to be taking a redshirt, and if that was not the case they would likely be in the rankings.
