Florida, Oregon Ranked No. 1 and Going For Three-Peats - USTFCCCAPublished by
Florida, Oregon Ranked No. 1 and Going For Three-PeatsCourtesy: Tom Lewis, USTFCCCA March 6, 2012 NEW ORLEANS – On Friday, the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships will begin in Nampa, Idaho. And, the same as every year, plenty of storylines – team and individual battles – expect to consume the two-day championships. The last USTFCCCA National Team Computer Rankings prior to the NCAA meet has both two-time defending champions – Florida’s men and Oregon’s women – as the No. 1 teams. ESPN3 will stream the meet live on March 9 from 7:30-11:45 p.m. ET and March 10 from 8-11:15 p.m. ET. A tape delay of the championship will air Sunday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU. NCAA.com and broncosports.com will stream what ESPN3 is not covering on Friday (Noon-7:30 p.m. ET) and Saturday (12:30-8 pm ET). NCAA Accepted Entries: Full Lists | Most by Team | Most by Conference National Ranking PDFs: Top 25 | Full by Team | Event-by-Event | Week-by-Week NATIONAL TOP 5 TEAMS – NCAA INDOOR HISTORYMEN WOMEN DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPIONS ENTERED(seed) in parentheses MEN WOMEN * Two-time defending champions
ABOUT THE RANKINGSFor more on the rankings and links to guideline and rationale information visit … The purpose and methodology of the national team computer rankings is to create an index that showcases the teams that have the best potential of achieving the top spots in the national-title race – not as a method to compare teams head-to-head. The Regional Index is determined using a similar method as national rankings, but on a smaller scale, comparing teams versus others within the same region. The result is a ranking that showcases squads with better all-around team potential — a group makeup critical for conference or similar team-scored events. A team may achieve a better regional ranking than a counterpart that has a better national ranking. Historically, some teams are better national-championship teams than conference-championship teams, having a few elite athletes that score very well in a diverse environment where teams do not have entries in more than a few events. Some teams are better at conference championships or similar team-scored events where they enter, and are competitive, in many of the events. How a team fares in a national championship, conference championship, or scored meet with only a couple or few teams (like a dual or triangular) can be very different, given the number of events, competition, scoring, and makeup of entries — thus the rationale behind each of the ranking systems. Similar arguments about team makeup and rankings can also be found in swimming & diving and wrestling as their sports also have a similar trichotomy when it comes to team theory. More news
