Si's top 25 pre-season rankings

[sun]

Si adds several different teams into the mix such as Belmont, Duke, UCLA & Villanova.
They list UConn as #5, and acknowledge the high ranked freshmen Ice & Ayanna but not Ice's injury.

South Carolina is the early favorite, but a handful of programs could challenge the reigning champs after offseason lineup boosts.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see why Iowa is ranked so high. They may prove me wrong but I just don't see it.

UConn would to me be 4 to 6. Even if PB was healthy SC and Stanford are going to be ranked ahead. I will be curious to see if point guard play is improved for Stanford. As good as Jones is, she is not a natural point guard and is playing it out of necessity. She's done a great job but to me that is what kept Stanford from beating UConn last season.

Again, UConn plays 5 of the top 10, we will soon see who's who and what's what. Add another 3 teams from the top 25 and the end of season resume will speak for it self.

Sorry my mistake.
Although Duke did get 2 votes in the AP poll.

With paige i think we only lose 1 of those top tier games , without her i think we may only end up winning 1 .
