2026 NCAA Wrestling Bracket - Fillout/Team Point & Individual Tracker

[Drew Newcomb]

Hello Everyone,

As in previous years with the NCAA and BIG12 tournaments I have made an excel fillable bracket. 

Attached to this post is the 2026 NCAA Bracket and the 2025 NCAA Bracket as an example.

There is a tab for each weight 125-285, the running total for each session/round, team scores, and finishes (including R16 & R12)

In each bracket to fill out all one has to do is input (From the drop menu) the projected result (F, For, Def, INJ, DQ, TF-11/2, TF-1, MD, Dec) and the bracket will move forward and score the team points accordingly.  

Below the bracket at each weight class there is an additional table for running points and an option to fill in team penalties and DQ. 
Enjoy, let me know if there are issues with it, but it should be working fine if you have the latest version of excel on your computer.

@Drew NewcombThanks for doing this! Makes my work a lot easier!

One thing to note, you can get rid of the TF-1 option...that rule hasn't existed since 2015.

I will update going forward!

How does everyone bracket? Do you (trevor) tinker and make many versions? Are you one and done?

I personally only run through it twice; once picking from the heart and once trying to make legit predictions

Is there a way to open this in Google Sheets?

I just downloaded it and used "import data" and "upload" in Google Sheets.  Seems to work as intended.

Read the instructions and copy it to YOUR DRIVE first

How do you undo a pick? Right now, if I make a pick, I can't go back and pick the other wrestler instead. It's locked in. Thank you for making this.

Thanks for the upload, this definitely took some effort, I have a question. How do you fill out byes? Which win option should I select?

You need to delete the result that you previously input

There are no BYEs in the NCAA tournament?
