First 2025-26 D1 Wrestling Coaches Poll Sets Early Championship Stakes
The season’s first NCAA Division I wrestling coaches poll was published, with rankings in each weight class determined by a vote of three coaches and criteria including starter designation and eight D1 matches (plus a non-teammate match requirement). The poll informs conference championship allocations and is used to project NCAA Championship team scores. Penn State leads the team rankings, followed by Ohio State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, and Nebraska, with wrestlers listed by weight class across conferences.
