            NEWTON, Iowa — The top four schools — Minnesota, Iowa, Cornell and Ohio State — and top-ranked individuals remained the same in this week’s WIN Tournament Power Index (TPI) and Individual Rankings, presented by Cliff Keen.

WIN’s TPI is based on where a school is projected to finish in next March’s NCAA Division I Championships in St. Louis, based on schools’ ranked individuals and not on a schools’ dual meet record. WIN will announce a separate Dual Team ranking, beginning Dec. 1.

            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 be lower than the final NCAA tournament points because it does not include bonus points.

While none of the top-ranked wrestlers at any of the ten weight classes changed, there were 19 newcomers to this week’s individual rankings, including at 149 and 197 pounds, where there were four additions to those weight classes.
