TheMat.com has had another strong year of participation in its survey of journalists, who make picks for the 2022 NCAA Championships in Detroit. A total of 36 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 was one unanimous pick among athletes, 2020 Olympic champion and returning NCAA champion Gable Steveson of Minnesota at 285 pounds. Penn State was selected as team champions by all journalists, except one, who picked Michigan.
