TheMat.com has had another strong year of participation in its survey of journalists, who make picks for the 2023 NCAA Championships in Tulsa. A total of 34 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).

There were no unanimous picks this year among the athletes, nor was there a unanimous pick among the teams.

In 2022, Cameron Drury of Indiana Mat won the journalist NCAA pick contest with 36 points. Second place went to Geoff Extrom of the Lincoln Journal-Star in Nebraska with 35 points. Taking third were Larry Slater of Slater Photography, Mike Spilotros of True Wrestling and Johnnie Johnson, a photographer for Amateur Wrestling News, with 34 points. There were 39 journalists who participated last year.

Note: Two journalist picks were added after this story was posted. These two selections were sent by the deadline, but the editor missed them in posting the story.
