Creighton at #21 and Princeton #24 (go Carla!)

Villanova at #28 and DePaul at #30.

I love Iowa but they seem too high, I’d argue the same with TN as well right now.

 

[UConnCat]

UConn will definitely play the following teams in the Top 25 during the regular season:

South Carolina
Texas
Tennessee
Notre Dame
NC State
Maryland
Creighton x2
Princeton

UConn will play Iowa out in Oregon if they defeat Duke and Iowa defeats Oregon state in the 1st round of the PK tournament.

At least Tennessee made it to the S16 last season before losing to Louisvile.

As we know, Iowa lost in the 2nd round on its home court to Creighton.

Iowa needs to play defense if they want to go anywhere

 

[Carnac]

9 of the top 25 on our schedule. Three of those teams ranked ABOVE UConn. UConn won't have to wait long to find out how they measure up against a top 5 team (Texas). They face the Longhorns Nov 14 at Gampel.

Only thanks to a massive choke job by Belmont.

[Urshurak]

I don’t think these pre-season polls mean squat. We’ll find out pretty quickly how good UConn is.

 

[Performance]

Preseason really means with the exception of the obvious #1 no one really knows.

 

[Centerstream]

How UConn (and every other team) plays in November and December is not an indication of how they could be playing in March or April.

Iowa seems high. I'd put UConn at 4.

 

[UConnCat]

I know these preseason polls don't mean much and will change early and often, but things like this make it worthwhile. Go Carla!

 

[WFFL]

Iowa has been so overrated ....voters should ask themselves . "Title Contender " or " Cinderella" , Iowa being ahead of true contenders just blows my mind.

 

[Luckystrike]

Iowa’s defense is not even top 20

 

[oldude]

Neither scoring offense or scoring defense necessarily relate to how good a team is. A “high octane” offense like Iowa will typically be involved in a high scoring game by virtue of how quickly they get shots up on offense, giving their opponents more offensive possessions.

Scoring margin tends to be a more useful statistic relative to just how good a team is. Last season SC was #1. UConn was tied for #3, followed by NC St. Iowa was #17.

If we are rated down that badly because Paige is out, we had better have a huge jump next year when she is back!
