Minnesota narrows Iowa’s lead in Dec. 2 TPI and Rankings

December 2, 2013

NEWTON, Iowa  — The University of Iowa remained No. 1 in WIN’s Dec. 2 Tournament Power Index, but the University of Minnesota pulled within two points of the Hawkeyes’ TPI total in this week’s TPI and individual rankings.

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.V20I1 WIN Master Oct 31 .indd

The order of teams in the TPI vary greatly from our dual-meet rankings — which will come out next Monday, Dec. 10, 2013 — 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.
