Ranking Prediction

More interesting question, in my opinion is, what would they have done if we’d won? Would they have jumped us up at the top of the list? Interestingly, I think a close loss probably does just about the same thing as a close win. I feel pretty confident it’s at least within five pole positions in any event.

Utah #4? The Utes who barely squeaked by both middling Oregon teams this weekend? Do you even watch the games? Utah has been struggling the last few weeks and will not even finish 2nd in the PAC this year…
 
I think it depends on how they view the Stanford loss (to an unranked team) and UConn's loss, to the #1 ranked team.

I think:

1. SC
2. LSU
3. Indiana
4. UConn (It would be possible for UConn to move up with a loss)
5. Stanford (Stanford may even fall further......)

of course, I may be way off base here......

I think Iowa might replace Stanford in the Top 5, I also think those voting would love to see a #1 South Carolina vs #2 LSU game next Sunday, winner taking control of the SEC rankings. It’d be great for marketing, especially with the Super Bowl being the talk of that day.

I seem to recall that someone, using the same logic, predicted that UConn would be rated #2 in advance of the SC-UConn game. Didn't happen, for good reason. Yes, this will be a battle of the unbeatens, but I don't think LSU will come close to the showing UConn made yesterday.

Utah is tied for first in the PAC12 right now. Who do you think finish ahead of them? Four of their last 6 games are at home. Arizona needed double OT to beat an unranked team and OT to beat UCLA.

Who knows anymore.. When UCONN beat Nova, Nova jumped up a couple of spots and UCONN stayed put.... I can see even though we lost by 4.... I could see us going down two to three spots, just because we lost.
Remember there is no rhyme or reason to WCBB. That has been made very clear this season.

Which is what happened in The Athletic subscription service. In their Power Rankings, UCONN was dropped to number 7, behind struggling LSU, Iowa and Stanford!
Is anybody in the media actually watching WCBB ?

So is the #4 rank for the starting 5 and the # 6 rank the bench?:D

Iowa. Iowa deserves no more than 8th. They only have two more Quad wins than losses UConn has seven. Stanford has six. Indiana has six Utah has seven.

LSU has 4. Just because Iowa scores a lot of points people want to rate them highly. there’s more to the game than scoring points.

But Iowa has C CLARK who is the big name in WCBB this year and the likely POY. She (and therefore IA) get so much pub that the clueless writers will over rank them maybe even ahead of UCONN in spite of the head to head result, which many writers/AP voters probably don't even know about.

Iowa over Stanford and Utah is ridiculous. Over Notre Dame and Duke is questionable.

Oh well, they get Indiana soon enough. Guess the Journalist want to write about that matchup and Caitlyn
 
The top six came out exactly as I thought they should (to my great surprise). The only odd thing that struck me was that Maryland didn't drop after a loss to Iowa and a win against an Ohio State team which is now in freefall (1-4 in their last five after starting out 19-0). I thought they would drop a few spots. Also a little surprised Middle Tennessee got any votes at all after losing two straight in conference (Massey dropped them 13 spots to 49).

Well unfortunately AP rankings are based on momentum & winning streaks. Iowa came in at 5 in today’s AP poll just like I figured they would.

They probably would have dropped lower than #8 if ND, Ohio St, UNC & Iowa St (last week #9- #12) hadn’t all lost games.
