Message: [QUOTE="GoCardinal, post: 4520571, member: 6989"] Ahhh okay, I see. I think the voters have just been going by record. Until recently, there were 3 undefeated teams so I understood OSU being ahead of UConn even though I didn't think they were necessarily better. Looking at the current rankings, the only team above with the same amount of losses is Stanford. The Pac-12's strength helps Stanford's case when justifying the ranking. So, I think voters are just going by record even though I am not sure LSU is better than Indiana for instance. Regarding UConn getting a fair shake, I just think it is difficult simply because of the injuries. I believe if UConn had everyone, they would firmly be a top 2 team. Maybe even the best team. In UConn's case, I think they are currently projected to be a 1 seed still. Even if they lose to SC, I think they will manage to stay on that line barring an expected loss along the way. LSU's case is a little murkier. How would a bad loss at SC impact their seeding and rank? Or what if they happen to lose one to someone we don't expect? At this point, some of these top teams can afford an unexpected loss (Stanford just had one) because of the strong schedules beforehand or in conference. LSU may not have this same luxury. [/QUOTE]
