Journalists pick the 2021 NCAA Championships finalists and top five teams

TheMat.com has had another strong year of participation in its survey of journalists, who make picks for the 2021 NCAA Championships in St. Louis. A total of 27 journalists have submitted their picks this year.

Participants will get three points for every champion, two points for every runner-up and one point for a finalist in the wrong placement. The top five teams are used as a tiebreaker. Participants will get points for each correct placement (5-4-3-2-1).

The traditional journalist picks for the 2020 NCAA Championships were cancelled after the NCAA cancelled the Div. I Championships, which were scheduled for Minneapolis.

The last winner of the journalist picks came in 2019, when the event was held in Pittsburgh, and 30 journalists participated. The winner was K.J. Pilcher of The Gazette in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Rounding out the top four were No. 2 Ken Chertow of KenChertow.com, No. 3 Matt Levins of The Hawkeye Newspaper (IA), and No. 4 G. Wyatt Schultz of the Predicament.

This year, perhaps due to the shortened season or to the many challenges of the pandemic, there is a wide variety of opinions on the winners and runners-up. It should be one of the most interesting contests in memory.

There were two unanimous picks from the 27 journalists surveyed: Spencer Lee of Iowa at 125 and Gable Steveson of Minnesota at 285. While there were a variety of finals opponents selected against Lee, all but two of the journalists picked Mason Parris of Michigan to place second behind Steveson.

Results will be posted shortly after this weekend. Enjoy the action starting tomorrow.
