WIN’s Jan. 28, 2013 TPI, Team Dual and Individual Rankings
Jan. 28, 2013
NEWTON, Iowa — Oregon State, fresh off its road victory over Cornell University, has moved in among the Top Ten dual teams to highlight WIN’s Jan. 28, 2013, Tournament Power Index (TPI), Team Dual and Individual rankings that are released today.
The Beavers jumped four spots to No. 9 in the Team Dual rankings after OSU earned a 23-20 victory last Sunday over the Big Red, which fell two spots to No. 10. Meanwhile, Bloomsburg University joined WIN’s Top 20 Dual teams after edging Eastern Wrestling League rival Edinboro, 19-18, on Jan. 25. Bloomsburg, which is ranked No. 19, improved to 12-2 on the season.
In the individual rankings, all ten top-ranked individuals remained the same as did two-time NCAA champion Penn State in WIN’s Tournament Power Index.
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.
