NCAA DI Rankings Updated (2/10/2026)

It's hard to believe, but we only have two more weeks of the 2025-26 regular season. Last week had some solid, but not spectacular results, from an individual standpoint. This is the first time in a while that we haven't had a change to the top three at any weight. But there were lots of movement in the rankings, some of which can be explained below:

125 lbs

One of the key wins in Rutgers’ upset win over Minnesota came from Ayden Smith as he upset All-American Jore Volk. Smith’s win put him into the top 24. Volk drops a bit after his second upset loss in the last few weeks. Jacob Moran moves up a spot after his conference win over Nicolar Rivera. As of now, Rivera’s best win came against Zeke Witt, so we feel comfortable about moving him behind Moran. Moran sits behind Spencer Moore, who beat him last week. 

133 lbs

Another upset loss from Wisconsin saw All-American Zan Fugitt lose to Indiana’s true freshman Jackson Blum. While Fugitt has the win over Drake Ayala, this was his second loss of the year to an unranked opponent and he also had a early-season loss to Army’s Ethan Berginc, who he’s been slotted behind this week. Despite the .500 record, Zach Redding has wins over ranked conference opponents Ethan Oakley and Evan Tallmadge. He moves back into the rankings ahead of both. The bottom third at this weight is extremely fluid and volatile. Trying to make sense of the last few spots at this weight - along with the wrestlers just missing the top 33 in a chore as they generally have beaten and lost to each other. 

141 lbs

No major changes here. Vince Cornell beat CJ Composto for the second time this year. Both of Composto’s losses have come to the Cornell wrestler. 

149 lbs

Last week, we mentioned hot Collin Gaj was red-hot and moved into the #6 ranking. This week, Wynton Denkins of Virginia cooled him off with an upset loss. There isn’t an obvious suitor for that #6 spot this week. We’ll turn to Ethan Stiles, who has a win over Buesgens and beat Ryder Block on Friday. Denkins will need another couple of wins to break into the rankings. A week ago, he was beaten by Duke’s Dylan Ross. 

157 lbs

In the top half there wasn’t any movement. The most significant changes were to move Laird Root up after continuing to stack wins in the matches he’s supposed to win. Also, Tony White of Rutgers gets rewarded after downing Charlie Millard. 

165 lbs

We received word that Virginia Tech is expected to move forward with Mac Church as the starter and removed Ryan Burton from the rankings. That forced more than half the wrestlers at this weight to move up a spot without Burton. 

174 lbs

There was a little bit of wildness at this weight. Luca Augustine handed Matthew Singleton his second loss of the season. Augustine moves up a bit, while Singleton holds steady. Singleton has a win via fall over the wrestler directly behind him in the rankings (Facundo), while the previous #9 Danny Wask took a loss, as well. If Singleton continues to lose, we’ll reconsider. 

184 lbs

We removed Cornell’s Christian Hansen as it appears the injury he suffered last week is significant. A big mover this week is UNI’s Nick Fox. Were the season to end today, he’ll probably get the #1 seed at the Big 12 Championships. He just doesn’t have a lengthy resume. Fox has a big weekend upcoming with matches against #17 Ian Bush and potentially #12 Isaac Dean. 

197 lbs

The only real upset loss for Indiana against Wisconsin came at 197 lbs and Gabe Sollars drops for that. After reconsidering the last 10-11 spots in the rankings, we probably should have had Devin Wasley and JT Davis a little bit higher. They have been moved up. 

285 lbs

The only real movement here is from Luke Rasmussen who has continued a tough second half of the second and had his second loss to UNI’s Adam Ahrendson. He drops to #33. 

Team Dual

Last week, in trying to make sense of Iowa/Nebraska/Minnesota, we stated that Minnesota’s loss to South Dakota State, was the lowest ranked of the three teams. Minnesota lost again to a lower ranked team (Rutgers) and moved down a couple of slots. 

UNI goes back ahead of South Dakota State after their second win of the year over the Jackrabbits. 

Jumping back into the rankings is Arizona State. Their 3-11 dual record is unsightly, but they have recent wins over Cornell and Oregon State. This current version of ASU is one of the top 30 teams.
