Here's a (hypothetical) look at how the men's entrants in the 2011 NCAA Fencing Championships compare, based on their official "Fencing Strength Factor" (sort of an individual RPI) for the 2010-11 college season. In some cases, this listing can provide a relative comparison when looking at how various fencers end up finishing at the NCAAs. Unlike in the NCAA Regionals, there are no actual seeds used for the NCAA Championships.
(Note – There are some obvious quirks in these numbers, such as Penn State foilist MIles Chamley-Watson being #9 on this list and PSU sabreist Aleksander Ochocki being #12 ... again, these lists simply help for a possible comparative look that is based on the individual fencer results from the college season – dual meets and Regionals).
