It's still very early in the year...but here's a quick rundown of how the top 10 appears relative to last year around this time.  I'm basing this off of eye test, box scores, recaps read, and player personnel.

1. Notre Dame-probably better from a year ago...still not healthy though with Mabrey out.

2. UCONN-not as good as last year

3. Oregon-probably about the same...nearly lost at home to Syracuse early though.

4. Louisville-nearly lost to ASU...definitely don't look as potent without MHE.

5. Baylor-I think they're a step behind where they were last year.  Close call against ASU and questions at PG spot.   Also questions about who gets rotation minutes.

6. Mississippi State-haven't played anyone good yet, although they've been dominant early.  Could be better or worse than a year ago.

7. Maryland-likely improved from a year ago

8. Stanford-improved from a year ago

9. Oregon State-improved from a year ago

10. Texas-not as good as last year.  Nearly lost to Quinnipiac tonight and player personnel isn't as strong.

11. Tennessee-Probably about the same.  Too early to tell a whole lot though.
