We should still be ranked, not only did the teams lose that you've mentioned but Miss State dropped another one as well.Am I crazy to believe that the Lady Vols have an outside shot of remaining in the Top 25 this week? Texas and Washington State had bad weeks, and I think that today's mauling of Alabama will put Tennessee at #24 or #25 in advance of the UConn game.
Today was a statement game. I expect they will remain ranked. Might even climb up a spot or two.
I will be totally surprised if were not ranked with Georgia possibly moving into the top 20.
NET Ranking 2021 Womens College Basketball | WarrenNolan.com
We moved up several spots in the Net rankings which are much more important than the poll. Number 19 after the Bama win.
Northwestern should not be ranked. Their only decent win is over Iowa. Iowa State in front of us with 4 losses just because they beat Baylor. South Dakota State is 11 and 2 and beat Iowa State, they should be ranked over them. Iowa State also were beat down by Texas. Mississippi State shouldn't be either, and Arkansas has 4 losses and is still 15th. The women's poll is a joke and even believe Mechelle Voepal said as much in a recent article. I'd vote West Virginia and SDSt in over some of these teams, possibly even Bama.
And we come out at #25....its all about the storyline baby! Are we better than 24 other teams ABSOLUTELY , but do we deserve it right now ? Not so sure , id rather go unranked the entire season to give this team something to prove. They seem to play better when they think no one has expectations IMO.We will stay ranked i believe solely based on the fact the ESPN game coming up with UCONN.
I am pretty sure MV covered Big 12 basketball and is from the Midwest. Either way I usually agree with most things she says and enjoy reading her articles.I wouldnt give MV too much credit shes a UCONN homer and westcoast biased reporter. She never reports anything good about the LV's keep her on the boneyard.
