UConn at #2 behind UCLA.

Iowa in, Baylor out.

UConn at #2 behind UCLA.

 

[VaConnFan11]

Nothing wrong with that. UConn hasn't played anyone yet.

UCLA looked very good against South Carolina. They are a big team and will give everyone matchup problems.

 

[Bone Dog]

Texas fell one spot

 

[DefenseBB]

Again, I think the voters took the lazy way out. I am not upset that UCLA leap frogged UConn but winning at HOME is less impressive than what ND did AT USC with a depleted team.

Based on the pattern the group usually follows, it should have been
1. UConn
2. UCLA
3. ND
4. Texas
5. SCar
6. LSU
7.SoCal

The road win at #16 North Carolina didn't impress you, huh?

Byproduct of UCLA jumping everyone. I can't disagree with the top 5 right now. I think SC at 6 is generous but it's hard to advocate for LSU passing them.

 

[huskeynut]

Not a surprise. And it's not April yet. Things will change.

 

[huskyblooz]

I would've put UCLA at one. ND 2. and us 3.

Glad to see Iowa crack the top 25. They look improved defensively from last year (playing more man rather than zone) and their ball movement offensively has been tremendous.

Tough crowd.

 

[Bone Dog]

The thing is, UCLA beat the pre-season #1 and became the the new #1. This isn't surprising.

The rest of the schedule for them looks pretty mild so they may not be dethroned until they meet USC (twice) in Feb and March. Can Indiana or tOSU or Illinois or MD going to topple them? Minnesota? None of these would be impossible, but they'd be serious upsets.

 

[Next 12]

I can live with that. It's only a matter of time before Uconn is NO.1. This is Uconn's year and all the pretenders will fall one by one until we win NO.12.l GO FRESHMEN!!! GO SOPHOMORES!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!

I'm inclined to agree. I view early season polls as essentially bulletin board fodder.

Also when we beat North Carolina they were actually number 14 at the time. I count that as a very good road win.

Wasn’t it technically a neutral court? At least that’s how the committee will classify it when determining Quad wins. Moot point as I doubt UNC would fall below 50 in the net.

Greensboro is about as neutral a court for UNC as Hartford is a neutral court for UConn.

 

[cohenzone]

Is there a reason this time of year (if ever) to care about polls? FWIW. I was at the UCLA game yesterday. They are good no doubt. and put SC on their heels in the 1st half. When SC figured out how to defend them it was pretty even with a slight edge to SC. So many competitive teams now should make for an interesting NCAA tournament.

Ranking at the time is irrelevant.

 

[fireford]

Barring a late game collapse, UNC is a little over a quarter away from winning Battle 4 Atlantis and have played lights out defense in the tournament. I was a little disappointed that UConn let them back in the game after being up 22 but that was a good team that UConn beat in their own state.
No issue with UCLA being #1 and would have also been OK with ND being #2 after the impressive wins both had over the weekend. But it seems the win over UNC is being underrated by some.

 

[jaydee602]

This is the correct ranking.
UCLA deserves to be #1 after demolishing SC.
There was talk that Notre Dame might jump over UCONN, but a #5 beating a #3 doesn't merit the #2 team getting demoted. UCONN deserves to stay at #2.
The rankings will change all season as top teams play each other with gruelling non- conference schedules.

 

[VaConnFan11]

The road win at #16 North Carolina didn't impress you, huh?

No. North Carolina is not a top 20 team and will not be ranked at the end of the season.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Does anyone have the AP Poll for Monday April 7, 2025? That is the one I want to see.

 

[jcoton56]

The road win at #16 North Carolina didn't impress you, huh?

Right? That was a legit top20 road win. There will be more polls however.

 

[Viet Vet]

So we're not #1 on November 25. Bravo Foxtrot Delta!
