NEWTON, Iowa — Oklahoma State’s Jordan Oliver, a 2011 national champion and 2012 national runner-up at 133 pounds, has moved into the top spot of 149 pounds in WIN’s Nov. 26 NCAA Division I individual rankings.

Oliver, a senior from Easton, Pa., has replaced Boise State’s Jason Chamberlain, the 2011 All-American and previous top-ranked wrestler, who lost 3-2 this past weekend to Oregon State’s Scott Sakaguchi. The Beaver moved from number six to three in the current WIN rankings and trails Oliver and Binghamton’s Donald Vinson, who moved up one spot to number two.

Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine releases its NCAA Division I college ratings on a weekly basis and includes the magazine’s Tournament Power Index (TPI), Team Dual rankings and individual ratings per each of the ten college weight classes. These weekly rankings include action through Nov. 25, 2012. The WIN TPI does not rank teams according to dual meet performances. Instead, WIN also ranks teams in a separate Dual Team Rankings.

In this week’s TPI, the top nine schools remain the same from last week with Penn State, Minnesota, Iowa, Oklahoma State and Illinois continuing to hold the top five spots.

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.
