Will it be unanimous?

[Aluminny69]

Yes, I was being facetious. But those voters who have been ranking UConn #2 for all these weeks should be feeling pretty stupid right about now. I mean, do they even watch Women's basketball games? Maybe it's time to get some new so-called experts to do the team rankings.

I was kidding, but I still wouldn't be surprised if one disgruntled voter doesn't vote UConn #1.

But who else could they vote for #1?

Princeton.

Princeton - undefeated and unchallenged!!!

Sorry - my bad. Hope they do get a vote

Maybe a fluffheaded poller will point to the brain-dead RPI for picking Baylor #1. After all UConn was only #8 in the ReallyPatheticIndex before tonight's game and likely won't be much higher tomorrow, so it's hard to give a first place vote to a team with that kind of poor credential. Tonight's win should keep UConn in the top 10 of the RPI for a little while though, so that's real nice.

I'm going to say it won't be unanimous. UConn will have almost all of the votes, but I think there will still be a few straggler votes that go to South Carolina, Baylor, and ND.

Stanford. They Beat UConn.
If you want a rematch move to the Pac12.

Yup, some redneck that doesn't get cable and can't read a newspaper will vote "other".

I personally think you are all nuts. Of course it will be unanimous. Anyone voting otherwise would be holding themselves up as an idiot.

Prior to tonight's game, if I was a voter, I would probably have voted South Carolina #1 - not because I thought they were better than UConn but because, with the Stanford loss and them having no losses against a decent schedule, they deserved it.

This was a statement game. It will be unanimous.

 

[Icebear]

Fear the Dog. Fear the Huskies.

 

[Sonny44]

Unanimous for sure. They don't think, they react.

 

[Shenandoah]

Regardless of what the pollsters say; the WCBB world, last night, said a collective "Oh Crap"...

 

[HGN]

The game wasn't even close at the end. Geno showed mercy and cleared his bench. After total domination of USC..............There is but one #1 , and that is UConn. No if , and , or buts.

 

[Zorro]

Cave canem, y'all!!

 

[DobbsRover2]

And UConn is now up to #6 in the RealPoorIndex, though still well behind USCar and of course UTenn. At this rate, maybe the Huskies have a chance for a #1 seed if the Selection Committee gives them a break. And maybe the Coaches Poll will give them some love.

The coaches poll is out. It's unanimous. It's about time. And why Stanford is still rated 19th after 2 losses including a loss to Arizona is beyond me.

Here's the poll. (BTW Stanford dropped 5 spots to 19)

Ultimately, folks can't have it both ways. Someone above said the pollsters are "reactive" not thinking. True to an extent. But if you think about Stanford's body of work - they are trending downward, but just as UConn had the USC game to "position" themselves, Stanford has 2 games against Cal coming up in a couple of weeks. Its why Texas took a while to fall out, Georgia is trending heavily down, etc.

I think dropping 5 spots for a bad loss is probably about what you expect (the ASU loss wasn't "bad").
