Message: [QUOTE="Reypl21, post: 2987148, member: 5169"] I hate to break it to you, but there is no "common sense" for these rankings. The people who voted all have their various reasons for their picks, and what is common sense to you is not common sense to them. Maybe Louisville should be ranked number 1, but then the argument would be they haven't really played anyone. If Baylor was undefeated they would be number 1, but they have a loss to Stanford. UConn only has one loss to Baylor. The voters look at the teams whole body of work. They are ranking 25 teams, not just UConn and ND. That game holds weight, but it's a piece to both of the teams overall body of work. ND has played better oppenents. I'm just trying to justify why they chose ND at 1, albeit a very slim margin. Focusing on that on a game from December and ignoring games after is IMO not realistic when arranging your top-25. [/QUOTE]
