[QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2075087, member: 5798"] [B]Scud49 said: "Can't agree more - from where they started last fall to today, tremendous achievers, and now my favorite UCONN team of all time". PRESEASON RANKINGS [/B]- Something that still sticks in my craw from back in September, is the preseason rankings that had UConn at #6, despite the fact that they were the defending national champions. Obviously that meant nothing to whoever rated/ranked the teams i.e, Charlie Creme, et al, because they completely missed the boat. [B]The team (whoever it is) that wins the national championship, should be ranked #1 at the beginning of the next season regardless of who graduates, or who returns. [/B]They deserve that much respect. If finish on top, you begin the next season on top. Since it's just a ranking "on paper", there should not be a problem. I understand the dynamics behind ranking teams in September, but that still doesn't make it OK. Many posters chimed in last year when I raised this question then. If after a few games, they falter and prove they don't deserve a #1 ranking, then drop them down accordingly. This undefeated #1 ranked UConn team is [U]the same one[/U] that began the season in November. The only difference between then and now is perception. Notre Dame didn't even make it to the final four, yet they were ranked #1? What did they do to deserve that ranking? They also disrespected the returning UConn players that grabbed the baton, didn't miss a beat, and kept the winning streak going. The raters can see NOW that this is a team worthy of the #1 ranking. And the teams that were ranked above them weren't. They couldn't see it back in September. This is why I don't give any credence to preseason rankings. They misjudged the top 6 teams. I wonder if they learned anything from their miscalculations. I hope they remember the phenomena that took place this year in Storrs, and conduct themselves accordingly next year,when contemplating the order of the top 25 teams. It's real simple, put [B]whoever wins the NC[/B] at #1 of any/all preseason polls, then make adjustments as the season progresses. I'll step down off of my soapbox now, I feel a lot better. :oops: Go UConn. [/QUOTE]
