I would too. I think we are actually a borderline 4/5 team. Texas and LSU haven’t proven anything but they may both be better than us but neither have proved anything - yet.
I think after UConn it's very arguable who's #2. Right now UConn passes the "eye test" and the "score" test for the number one team, but I think SCAR is a very plausible #2.

I know its early, there have been some rough spots in games, and this team is still finding it's rhythm. But with that considered, so far this team is better in every statistical category (save TOs and FTs) than last year's team. When they find their stride, this team will be a formidalble one, IMO.
As long as everybody is healthy. However, one sprained ankle puts us in peril
To play devil's advocate, South Carolina's 17 point road win over USC looks better than any UCONN win right now. Same for UCLA's big wins over UNC and Oklahoma. But eye test says UCONN looks like the best team so far.
I agree, though I think that UConn has yet to be battle tested against the size found on the top 5 or so teams.
I'd put Minnesota, Stanford, South Dakota State and Duke all ahead of Notre Dame after that loss. It's all trivial right now though.
The same Duke that lost to a lower ranked Baylor team and an unranked West Virginia team that had 5 players for a half?
I see your point but Baylor’s top 10 now and West Virginia is in the top 25. Id take either of those losses over a 39 point drubbing to #6 Michigan
I also see yours, however with how Duke has performed to date, I couldn't bump them ahead of ND based on their one loss when Duke struggled the way they have against competitive teams. Granted it was a drubbing, this was ND's only match against a ranked team to date.
