WIN’S March 1, 2010 Tournament Power Index (TPI) and Rankings

March 1, 2010

NEWTON, Iowa — Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine (WIN) is releasing its 14th Division I Tournament Power Index (TPI), dual team ratings and individual rankings for the 2009-10 season.
The Tournament Power Index (TPI) predicts where teams will finish in the NCAA Tournament, based on individual wrestler rankings and projected NCAA finishes. It includes some wrestlers who are currently injured.
The TPI is compiled by awarding points to each team for the ranked wrestlers listed in WIN’s current individual rankings. Teams are awarded points based on how many potential All-Americans 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. TPI points do not match the final NCAA tournament points because it does not include bonus points for pins, technical falls, major decisions and forfeits/defaults.
WIN dual team rankings are determined primarily on how teams actually finish in dual competition.

Those are the worst rankings that I have seen so far. Nicholson ahead of McDonough?? Dudziak #1 even though he's missed half the year yet Erekson is #6? Sorenson 5th at 197? Krom and Sentes up at #3? Schlatter down at #4?
