WIN’s Dec. 10, 2012 TPI, Team Dual and Individual Rankings

NEWTON, Iowa — The University of Pittsburgh and Oklahoma State University made noticeable moves in WIN’s current rankings that were released today.

Pittsburgh moved into the Top 10 of WIN’s Dual Team Rankings as the Panthers have now won their last two duals, including most recently beating Maryland, 23-12, on Dec. 7.

Pitt’s movement is among the highlights of WIN’s most recent rankings, which includes its updated Tournament Power Index (TPI) and Individual Rankings. The WIN TPI does not rank teams according to dual meet performances. Instead, WIN also ranks teams in a separate Dual Team Rankings.

But Oklahoma State, hot off a pair of wins against Wyoming and Bedlam rival Oklahoma, moved up one spot to No. 2 in WIN’s TPI, trailing No. 1 Penn State by a 98.5-83 margin. Iowa dropped to No. 3 with 79.5 points while Minnesota remained No. 4.

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.
