Hear ye, hear ye all ye faithful Boneyard folks! The time has come for the grand reveal of the 2022-2023 Women's Basketball Preseason Poll! @Lorcan and @undersized hope that a few minor tweaks will please the crowds. I'll provide some commentary below; however, without further ado.....your poll is below! Congratulations to South Carolina for being a near-unanimous #1 from the 24 voters who participated!
Firstly, you'll note that we provide the highest ranking a team received along with the low ranking that a team received from the esteemed voters of the Boneyard Collective. For example, Stanford received 1 first place vote; however, their low ranking was #4 by some unknown member of this community who shall remain nameless.
Secondly, we are adding a feature to show how a team rises and drops. In this poll, the biggest mover was the Lady Vols out of Knoxville - as we ranked them 22nd in our final poll last year; however, this year, they debut at #4 - just points ahead of the home favorite, UConn!
Thirdly, we will reveal all of the teams receiving a vote in this poll. You will note that UCF and FGCU are on the bottom of this poll. (If you can't see them -- please scroll down on the poll itself to see all of the teams.) This is because they were in the last Boneyard Poll from last season; however, they did not receive any votes.
Again, we would like to express our appreciation to @Plebe for beginning this lovely tradition, and hope that we can be fine stewards of this poll this season.
This poll will continue to be a bi-weekly poll. As such, we anticipate the next poll closing on November 20th at the close of games. We will provide a more exact deadline as we get closer.
