Speaking of awards, someone with 4,000+ comments should know AA Teams, POY, are based on the regular season and conference tournaments. Therefore, you comment makes no sense.

Yes it does. The award is for regular season play, true, but voters have until the NCAA's to cast their votes. And the voting isn't announced until the FF. The regular season, for good or ill, isn't all that the voters look at. For example, in her article about the candidates for these awards Voepel mentioned 2020 season stats for a couple. That should be a non-factor but here's a voter who is obviously letting a player's past play influence her. I don't think she's an exception.
I love how you guys are in the know about what's going on in the heads of players, coaches and now reporters. Ted Williams lost the MVP one year by a single point (247-246 or similar). He lost because a Boston writer did not consider the Triple Crown winner to be one of the the 10 players in the American League. Why, because he didn't like him. So you are right when you say people can be influenced by what should be non-factors. So, is Paige's huge social media presence a factor? The fact she plays for Uconn? Her appearance and demeaner vs other players. Maybe voters will feel sorry for Caitlyn not being able to display her talents to the Country. The answers to all of these is unknowable, so basically, irrelevant.

If SC and Tenn are the second and third seeds that leaves the first seed to be TAMU.

At the end of the tournament, we'll find out who's #1.
Better tell that to Alydar. He was a bit confused. I was not.

i think you misunderstood my post. i agree Paige is fantastic. i think Clark is good but not as good as everyone wants to say. i was just making the point as why clark probably had a lot of votes.

ESPN! No surprise there.
The extensive hype in all these social-media polls, debates, and comparisons ad infinitum has grown into a form of vicarious living for the masses. Pretty soon there will be people bouncing basketballs in the aisles at grocery stores, standing in line for tickets, circling the block, betting on dates when Paige will dunk the ball--you name it.

Been meaning to get back to you on this as I was on my way out when I saw it. These conversations are basically irrelevant in the whole scheme of things as I think we all know. But why support your argument with this paragraph?
