NEWTON, Iowa  — Missouri’s J’den Cox and Virginia’s Gus Sako highlight a group of 25 NCAA Division I wrestlers who today made their first appearance in WIN’s Nov. 25, 2013 individual rankings. WIN’s rankings are presented by FlipsWrestling.

Cox, a true freshman, moved into the No. 8 spot at 197 pounds after winning the Lindenwood Open last weekend. Sako, a junior, grabbed the No. 10 position at 149 pounds after defeating Virginia Tech’s Zach Neibert, who was ranked fifth before last weekend’s dual meet between the ACC schools.

In the Tournament Power Index, Iowa remained No. 1 with 98 TPI points, followed closely by Minnesota (91) and Penn State (90).

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 until they actually compete in varsity action for their school. Also some weight classes are subject to change.
