Dual meet season continues! And with dual meets come upsets! Here are all the upsets we could find from Week 12 of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season!

Week 12 Rankings | Upsets: Week 12 | Week 11 | Week 10 |Week 8 | Week 7 | Week 6 | Week 5 | Week 4| Week 3 | Week 2 | Week 1

Please note that there were no wrestling competitions in week 9 of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season, hence there is no upset article for week 9 of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season.

All the usual caveats apply. What look like upsets strictly according to the rankings in week 13 may not look like upsets by the end of the year, or even by week 14!

Questionable Upsets

125: Vinny Kilkeary, Ohio State over #6 Jore Volk, Minnesota 4-1 SV

133: Aaron Seidel, Virginia Tech over #7 Tyler Knox, Stanford 13-0

184: Gabe Arnold, Iowa over #7 Silas Allred, Nebraska 4-1

133: Zach Redding, NC State over #20 Ethan Oakley, North Carolina 8-2

All of these winners were unranked because they were not the presumed starter for their respective teams for one reason or another. Kilkeary is third on the Ohio State 125lb depth chart. Seidel was still redshirting until this weekend. Arnold is still behind Kennedy and Ferrari at 174 and 184 on the Iowa depth charts. And Redding was the presumed backup to Hohman for NC State until this week. 

Which makes these the most questionable of all the upsets from week 14, as these wrestlers might have been ranked higher than the wrestlers they beat. But we'll never know for sure, so we're including them all anyway for completeness. 

Double Digit Upsets

174: Tommy Bennett, Northern Illinois over #13 Garrett Thompson, Ohio 6-5

174: Eddie Enright, Northwestern over #15 Lenny Pinto, Rutgers 14-3

141: Matthew Martino, Princeton over #16 Elijah Griffin, Rider 9-5

197: #33 Wolfgang Frable, Army West Point over #20 Dillon Bechtold, Bucknell 4-1

A late 3⃣ gives Wolfie the W!

It's a 4-1 win for Wolfgang Frable at 197!

Army 12, Bucknell 9

197: #27 Kael Wisler, Michigan State over #17 Ben Vanadia, Purdue 9-8

165: #29 Cesar Alvan, Columbia over #19 Sean Seefeldt, Penn 4-1 SV

The difference in rankings between the two competitors in this group is ten or more. These were the most significant upsets of the week, with several unranked wrestlers picking up some very impressive victories.

165: #15 Andrew Sparks, Minnesota over #14 Paddy Gallagher, Ohio State 4-2

165: #11 Will Denny, NC State over #10 Bryce Hepner, North Carolina 10-2

197: #25 Gavin Nelson, Minnesota over #24 Wyatt Ingham, Wisconsin 4-2

The difference in rankings between the two competitors in this group is less than ten, making for upsets that aren't quite as impressive as the upsets listed above them. 

Many of these minor upsets occurred in Big Ten duals, which will undoubtedly prove their value to the teams when the conference championship seeds are determined.
