Tournament Poll Methodology: This is a tournament power index ranking; the poll is not based on a team's dual strength. TPI point totals are broken down by individual rankings directly correlated to placement points at the NCAA tournament: 1st = 16 points, 2nd = 12 points, 3rd = 10 points, 4th = 9 points, 5th = 7 points, 6th = 6 points, 7th = 4 points, 8th = 3 points, 9th = 2 points, 10th = 1 point. The top team point totals will be lower than the final actual NCAA tournament points because this poll does not include bonus points or advancement points.
