WIN’S 2009 PRE-NCAA TOURNAMENT POWER INDEX
Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine has released its final Tournament Power Index, which suggests where schools could finish in the 2009 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, March 19-21, in St. Louis, Mo.
The Tournament Power Index (T.P.I.) is compiled by awarding points to each team for the ranked wrestlers they have in WIN’s current individual rankings. Teams are awarded points based on how many potential All-Americans they could have and get advancement points for wrestlers ranked No. 9-20. The order of teams in the TPI vary greatly from our 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.
TPI points may not match the final NCAA?tournament points because it does not include bonus points for pins, technical falls, major decisions and forfeits/defaults.
