UConn at #5 in new AP Poll

When you only play all but 4 teams in the top 75 in the Massey ratings, you shouldn't be gloating, you should be ashamed of it.

It's hilarious how overboard fans get about rankings which in the end are meaningless. What matters at the end of the day is what happens in the post season.

Although, I find it equally amusing and frustrating the amount of hate LSU is getting when the players are just winning the games that were put in front of them; and earlier in the season it was because they hadn't played a P5 team, then they did play OSU and beat them by 32, and then it was that they hadn't played a ranked team, and then we did and we beat Ark by 24....so I guess the goal post will keep on moving for this team, and that's okay because like Kim said....the best answer for all the haters is to keep on winning.

No one hates the LSU players; UConn fans are annoyed at the situation. No offense, but that was a bizarre conclusion of yours
 
GENO has said and I agree, that the only poll number that counts, is the last one. Most posts by posters are their opinion of where their teams should be or hope to be and are not validated by any facts, only opinions. GO HUSKIES!!!
 
#5 isn't bad. I don't have too much of a problem with it. If UConn was #5 going into the weekend and #5 coming out of the weekend that would be understandable. The head scratcher is winning and dropping down. If UConn wins again on Tuesday do they drop to #6? Makes no sense right? Neither does dropping to #5 after this weekend. Win and get punished...

But, but, but . . . we ALL want our weekly reaffirmation of worth through rankings! We CAN'T wait til the end of the season. We want it NOW! Head bang

We Gamecocks want to be able to hang another banner if the season shuts down today. ;)

State has been leaking oil like my old 1989 Plymouth Acclaim, nevermind the fact that Duke went to Raleigh and ripped the fur offa those wolves.

I know it's not a media poll, but on my latest BY Top 25 ballot, I had Duke at #7, UNC at #19 and did not have NC State ranked at all...the first BY ballot I've ever cast without NC State. Too many other teams deserving of recognition right now.

I imagine a loss to Miami or Louisville (who I also had ranked on my latest ballot) this coming week will finish off any goodwill the Wolfpack Women has earned with the voters. That road win at Iowa earlier in the season can only go so far. OTOH, State has played a challenging schedule, the toughest of the three Triangle schools.

I don’t see where I said that people are hating the LSU players. If it came across that way, I didn’t mean it as such. I meant LSU as a whole.

But reading it again I can see how one could come to that conclusion. I apologize.

LSU will eventually take a few lumps, but they're a pretty good team. Overrated? Yea..., but reality is undefeated.

Speaking of Boneyard Ballots, :D here's my top nine based on QUAD ONE wins minus all losses equals power rating:

1.. SCar (7-0) = +7
2. tOSU (7-0) = +7

3. UConn (7-2)= + 5

4. Utah (5-1) = +4
5. Duke (5-1) = +4
6. Indiana (5-1) = +4
7. Michigan (7-3) = +4

8. LSU (3-0) = +3

9. Stanford (4-2) = +2

Remember folks, it doesn't matter where you started, or are currently at. All that matters is where you finish up at the end of the season. Everything else is meaningless
 
We don’t have to sweat or question what some of those “obviously” biased voters think. I’m SMH. We don’t need confirmation from the pollsters to feel good about our team. The “eye test” tells us the truth, and all we need to know.

The proof and truth will be told when SC hosts LSU on Feb 12. I’m interested to see how high a seed LSU gets, and if they can win their 4th NCAA tournament game. Is LSU a final-four team? We’ll see.
 
I wonder what Dorka thinks about seeing her old school undefeated, ranked so highly, and dominating a major BB conference.
 
Patience everyone. January 30th is only a couple of weeks away. My guess is that no one will happier about the Tennessee game than Facility Services personnel working at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center because they won’t have to clean frosting and cream filling off the court. Should get the staff home a lot earlier than usual.
 
The rankings dont matter?? They definitely matter for tourney seeding. I would hate to be clawing for a #1 seed all year only to let a team like LSU with a much easier SOC sneak in as a the last #1 seed. Sets up potentially a much tougher draw.

Pretty hard for them to lose, playing a schedule filled with cup cakes. The facts speak for themselves.

There’s a whole lot of basketball left to play before the Big Dance. The only thing I’m worried about right now is for the Huskies to get healthy and start firing on all cylinders.

This could very well be a problem @Kat because Mr. Speculation has it that all the throw pillows on her couch in her apartment look like this :eek:!

I can see the 3 teams ahead of Uconn..after all they are undefeated but Stanford having 2 losses and one was to an unranked team..no way they should be ahead of Uconn
Expand ...

Being undefeated is only a flex if you’ve done it against a tough schedule.

South Carolina has played a pretty competitive schedule, Ohio State as well. LSU’s best win is against Arkansas (#24 at the time), who’s #37 in NET and no longer ranked.

Just days before that, we beat previously ranked St. John’s by 40. Go figure. Stanford lost to an unranked team with no injuries; mystifying. This is why services like Massey are so are so much more reliable.

Keep whistling past the graveyard as their schedule is pretty easy. Just who, exactly will give them their lumps besides SC?

OSU mediocre Oregon State.
 
I don't have a big problem with #5 TODAY. Voters have to base it on the current team. Today we don't know about Azzi and CD. The current squad without them is probably #5. With them #2 (IMO)
 
Texas back in the rankings? SMH. I guess next we will see Tennessee in the rankings.
