Message: [QUOTE="bbsamjj, post: 4848251, member: 1738"] I think that's my point: Last week UConn ended up at #13, in large part because none of the teams in front of them gave voters a reason to penalize them. If you look at last week's mens rankings, Memphis was ranked #13. The 12 teams in front of them had a total of 27 losses (and this was before nearly everyone lost this past week). Those rankings have been fluid. In fact, you had four teams with 3 losses in the top 10. Meanwhile, on the women's side, the 12 teams in front of UConn had a combined 10 losses last week. As good as UConn has looked recently, their 3 losses (yes to top tier competition) still stood out, and I think it's harder for voters to penalize teams who haven't lost many (or any) games. NOW however, losses are piling up. Resumes are coming more into focus. In short, are rankings silly? Sure. But I also think they will work themselves out by the time we get to March. [/QUOTE]
