This morning UConn is ranked 25th in the overall Sagarin Ratings. But Sagarin offers a number of alternative rankings, one of them weighing recent performance heavier than early season performance.
Here is Sagarin's "RECENT" rankings, as of this morning:
1. Gonzaga 97.85
2. Illinois 96.76
3. Baylor 95.01
4. Iowa 93.90
5. Arkansas 91.79
6. Michigan 89.98
7. Kansas 89.97
8. Purdue 89.63
9. Alabama 89.41
10. UConn 88.85
Here you see the dilemma facing the NCAA selection committee -- how do you seed a Top Ten caliber team whose overall season performance may earn them only a 7 or 8 seed? Or, put another way, how do you seed an 18-2 team with a 14-6 record? If UConn wins the BET, the problem becomes more acute. UConn could be pushing the Top Five in this ranking and yet headed for a 5 or 6 seed at best.
