UConn Moves To #1

[JavaMan]

​

This is great news for UConn. Geno has been waiting all year to top off his OOC schedule by also playing the #2 team in the country.

Should have beat Valpo by 70, I guess.

Should have beat Valpo by 70, I guess.

Or played more than 1 ranked team.

Good one! I'm guessing there are going to be a few disenchanted Irish WBB fans today. Now, if we can only keep it that way come Thursday morning.

I smell monkey business! Why would they even change their ranking right now???? Although I feel UCONN is the best team in the country, they should've left us at #2. Clearly they're trying to soften the blow to ND provided we (UCONN) win on Wednesday. Just so they can say well #1 is supposed to win! What the crap ever!!!! However, if ND were to somehow win, they'll say it was an "upset"... GET THE ............... OUT OF HERE with the unnecessary roughness! Annnnywhooooo........GO UCONN!

I almost anticipated that response in my post, but thought it would ruin the purity of my one-liner.

I'm surprised... and yet I'm not.

Well, we know how UConn performs at #1 Good luck to Muffet and her Tuffets!

Duke & USF move into top 25, Tennessee out

Obviously, it'd be cooler for UConn to be #2, but it is a fair ranking, if we focus not on past accomplishments (UConn) or current "buzz" (Notre Dame) but just the body of work this year. Both teams have been great, but UConn has taken on all comers.

No actually they are trying to diminish UCONN's SOS.

The last time the #1 team was moved out of the top ranking without losing was 2005.

I thought you were just setting me up.

It was disrespect to not have UConn number 1 to begin with.

I said in an earlier posting that UConn had done everything it could to move up, but ND hadn't done enough to move down. I STILL don't think that ND did anything to move down, but their early schedule was light, whereas UConn's has been ludicrous. I think this is the voters no longer seeing UConn as an inexperienced team (beating #12/2/15/14), instead considering ND to be the less experienced team (beating #17).

You can line them up any way you want as far as I am concerned. Bottom line is that, barring a 40 point blowout, the winner Wednesday will be #1, the loser #2.

Isn't this where someone is supposed to say "we're doomed, doomed I tell you"

The TN drop is HISTORIC - they have been ranked in EVERY AP poll since it all began.

Last week I took a lot of heat for posting that the Huskies should still be ranked #1. And I agree with you. Why on earth would they suddenly flip the rankings. But, think about it. Wcbb and ESPN will build this game up now as the " GAME OF THE YEAR " ! CAN THE IRISH OVERCOME THE BIG BAD HUSKIES ? So, my question is, what the hell has happened suddenly, for the Irish not to be thought of as the " POWERHOUSE TEAM" we've been hearing about ?

And this early in the season, any ranking is to be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[cbraarj]

They just gave Notre Dame bulletin board material!

Poll: AP Women's College Basketball Poll Week 5

At time of posting does not include how voters voted

UConn, too

 

[UcMiami]

And TX coming in at 17 has got to be the highest ranking for a team with a 33% win percentage EVER! I think they deserve it based on who they lost to, but it is pretty eye popping.

 

[Kaizen]

Texas still #17 even they lost 4 games, and Depaul #16, both lost to UConn

No, it really wasnt.
