So (some of) the AP voters are practically the only people left who follow the sport who don't think Connecticut is one of the top four teams in the country.    Massey, NET, Sonny Moore, NCAA Power rankings, and Voepel's ESPN Power rankings all have Connecticut 2nd behind South Carolina.   Creme has them top-4, last week's coaches poll (before the latest two wins) had them 4th, and RPI has them 1st.

The distribution of votes is odd, though: at least one voter has someone unexpected in the top 5 (there are 7 points worth of votes unaccounted for in the 2 through 5 group).  If everybody voted the same way, the 2nd place team would have 672, 3rd 644, etc., so none of the four teams even has enough votes to be 3rd (they're almost in a four-way tie for 2/3/4/5).   There are even more votes unaccounted for (57) when you look at the top seven.   If I had to guess, some voter inexplicably dropped Ohio State only a couple of spots despite three straight losses (each of Connecticut's two losses dropped them three spots).
