The Longhorns peaked at the end of the season, and looked unstoppable in their last two matches.
(Despite Jerritt Elliott getting a red card and giving Nebraska a free point late in the first set.)
Losing 24-, 14-, 11- is something else
From being what I perceived to be a relatively underperforming program among the elites
prior to 2022, Texas suddenly does a back-to-back in 2022 and 2023 to increase their total
championship count to 4, just one less than Nebraska.
Stanford is still the all-time leader in:
Final Four Appearances:
24 (vs. 2nd place Nebraska's 16)
Total National Champion Finishes:
9 (vs. 2nd place Penn State's 7)
Total National Runner-up Finishes:
8 (vs. 2nd place Nebraska's 6)
On the other hand, Stanford current Final Four drought
extends to 4 seasons, tying the 2nd most from 1988-1991
and just one less than the longest from 2009-2013.
