Penn State

Oklahoma State

Nebraska

Iowa

Ohio State

Stanford

Michigan

Iowa State

Minnesota

NC State

Why? because they declined last year?

Yes.  And he was the catalyst to getting national duals (Prior) and diminishing the Xmas tourney schedule and wrestling tomato cans first half of the season.  
 

Dt went out and created something cool.  Instead of celebrating his first big coaching tree branch Carl … well was Carl about it.

Automatic entry will be awarded to the top 10 teams in the final NCAA standings and the top four finishes of last year’s National Duals Invitational. Qualified teams must complete their participation agreements by mid-April to secure their spots.

Penn State, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio State, Stanford, Michigan, Iowa State, Minnesota and NC State have all received automatic qualifier invitations. Because all four of last year’s National Duals Invitational top finishers also placed in the NCAA Championships’ top 10, only 10 automatic qualification spots will be awarded in 2026.

I believe they also wanted the freedom to choose a team that would obviously be strong in spite of a poor nationals performance, so I would imagine there would be some wiggle room to say, "Iowa State: you don't have to be random draw- you're in."
