With David Taylor’s hiring, plenty was made about the potential for Oklahoma State to consistently challenge or win NCAA team titles again. That begs the question, how does Oklahoma State stack up to the rest of college wrestling’s superpowers?

To look at Oklahoma State and how they compare, we have to look at everyone else too. So today, we’ve looked at NCAA team performance by schools over the past ten NCAA Tournaments (2014-2024). In case you forgot, there wasn’t one in 2020 and All-American totals below do not include those wrestlers named All-Americans by the NWCA.
