Iowa is new No. 1 in WIN’s Nov 18 TPI and Rankings
November 18, 2013
NEWTON, Iowa — The University of Iowa has moved into the top spot in WIN’s Nov. 18, 2013 Tournament Power Index, which is based on individual wrestlers’ results through Nov. 17, 2013. Less that ten TPI points separate the top four schools in this week’s TPI rankings as the Hawkeyes (with 95 points) are followed by Oklahoma State (91), Minnesota (88.5) and Penn State (86), which was ranked No. 1 in last week’s TPI.
WIN’s rankings are presented by FlipsWrestling. The TPI is compiled by awarding points to each team with ranked wrestlers by WIN. Teams are awarded points based on how many potential NCAA All-Americans they could have next March and get advancement points for wrestlers ranked No. 9-20. The order of teams in the TPI vary greatly from our dual-meet rankings — which will come out in December — 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.
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.
WIN seeks to subjectively combine both current results with past performance and proven records of consistency to predict those who will most likely place high or win the national tournament. WIN does not rank freshmen wrestlers until they actually compete in varsity action for their school. Also some weight classes are subject to change.
