In looking at the way the pollsters voted, I am particularly perplexed by Percy Allen of the Seattle Times.  Last week, he did not even have SC ranked, and this week, his ranking of SC falls way outside that of each other pollster by a long shot.  Then, upon further investigation, I have to seriously question his logic.  He clearly is either not taking his responsibility seriously, or he hasn't watched any women's basketball games this year and only looks at final scores and ignores opponents, SOS, actual flow of games (some scores are definitely not true pictures of how close the game was played, i.e. ND/Louisville, SC/MSU, etc.).    For example, he still has NCSU ranked #6 despite losing to unranked UNC and having an overall weak schedule thus far this season.  He also has TAMU and Kentucky ranked in the top 15, and BYU is listed at #25 despite taking 2 losses this week to unranked teams.  I understand rankings are more for the fans than anything, particularly at this point of the season; however, I believe if you are tasked with the responsibility of casting a ballot, you should at least put forth some effort.
