WIN’s Jan. 14, 2013 TPI, Team Dual and Individual Rankings
Jan. 14, 2013
NEWTON, Iowa — Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech, after strong performances last weekend, have solidified their Dual Team ratings in this week’s WIN’s Division I Tournament Power Index (TPI) and team/individual rankings.
The Cowboys remained No. 2 after beating No. 3 Iowa, 18-12, in Stillwater, Okla., on Saturday. The Hokies remained No. 9 after beating (in order) Binghamton, Kent State, Edinboro and Virginia to capture this year’s Virginia Duals, held last Friday and Saturday in Hampton, Va.
In working to compile the most accurate rankings possible during the season, WIN seeks to subjectively combine both the most recent week’s and season’s results with past performance and proven records of consistency. Those results, in regards to who’s wrestling well, are balanced against who have proven they can win the big matches towards the end of the year and those who will most likely place high or win the national tournament in March.
The WIN TPI is compiled by awarding points to each team for the ranked wrestlers they have in WIN’s current individual rankings that can be found below in all ten weight classes. In a sense, it suggests how many points these teams could score at this year’s NCAA tournament, March 21-23, in Des Moines, Iowa. TPI points will not match the final NCAA tournament points because it does not include bonus points for pins, technical falls, major decisions and forfeits/defaults.
Teams are awarded points based on how many potential All-Americans (Top 8 wrestlers) they could have and get advancement points for wrestlers ranked No. 9-20. The order of teams in the TPI vary greatly from dual meet rankings, as some teams have a number of highly-ranked individuals but may have holes in their dual meet line-up.
Point totals associated with individual rankings are as followed: 1st – 20 (16 AA points + 4 advancement points); 2nd – 16 (12+4); 3rd – 13.5 (10+3.5); 4th – 12. 5 (9+3.5); 5th – 10 (7+3); 6th – 9 (6+3); 7th – 6.5 (4+2.5); 8th – 5.5 (3+2.5); 9th/12th – 2; 13th/16th – 1.5; 17th-20th – 1.

# — Penn State has been using sophomore James Lawson this season. WIN has been substituting the two in and out of the rankings, and will do so until the full-time starter is chosen if they both deserve being ranked.
