Where will the Lady Vols be in the top 25

[Coach Jumper]

I am thinking top 20, maybe #19

 

[Special Ed]

I don't get a vote, so I have no idea.

 

[sisaq]

I just like how they didn't rank Kellie and have her work her way in.

 

[creekdipper]

Hopefully, #29.

And the dissed Lady Vols go on an undefeated tear through the SEC.

 

[77' Vol]

Ranked about 20 sounds right. All I know is this Team/Coach is a breath of fresh air after having endured Holly for too long. Lady Vols on the upswing.

 

[Volfan2012]

I think around 20 sounds right they may break into the top 20 but I'm going with 20 as the number.

 

[Bballnut1952]

No. 21 Northwestern lost to No. 16 Indiana.
No. 22 Georgia lost to No. 4 South Carolina.
No. 23 Syracuse lost to No. 1 Louisville and Clemson.
No. 24 Iowa State lost to Texas.
No. 25 Tennessee lost to No. 3 UConn.

26 South Dakota State won both their games.
27 Texas won both their games including the one against No. 24 Iowa State
28 Missouri State won both their games.

So, 8 teams for 5 spots. All had a claim for Top 25 status.

My guess is that Iowa State and Syracuse drop out of the rankings. Northwestern drops two spots. Georgia drops one spot. I think Tennessee will rise a couple because they beat No. 12 Kentucky and only lost to No. 3 UConn team in a close game.

No. 20 Gonzaga won their games and No. 19 Mississippi State didn't play so they won't drop.

Here are my 21-25 rankings for this week.

21 Tennessee
22 Northwestern
23 Georgia
24 Texas
25 South Dakota State

Going up 4 spots would be great for the Lady Vols and well deserved.

Right now they will have us around 19-20 , BUT i do think were better than 15-20 of the top 25 if not all .

 

[LVsinceJV]

19

 

[Border Vol]

#20

 

[37620VOL]

[VA_VOLFAN]

20

 

[Raebo]

Probably around #20 but even more importantly, I think the team has a lot of confidence now and feel they can play with anyone. At least I hope so.

Plus i want to see the Net rankings i think top 15 there possibly

 

[LadyVols_WBK]

should be 15-19 if we hadnt fumbled the bag against the bulldogs ....I still have PTSD from the Georgia game

 

[BruisedOrange]

Let's see what this team plays like with a chip on their shoulder.

Hell I have PTSD from the last decade of LV basketball. I'm pretty sure bag fumbling can and will happen again. The light at the end of tunnel though is for the first time we have bounced back well from adversity. We may actually be getting over the psychological "here we go agains" that have hung over the program for years. IMO if the season ended tomorrow (exactly our luck) that would be a huge development to carry forward.

Great analysis, thanks. I'm glad you post here. That said, I don't give a hoot about Top 25 rankings. I just want the rankings that involve tourney positioning to be fair. And I'm overjoyed to be caring about tourney positioning once again!

PTSD as in I can never trust the Lady Vol and big leads anymore.....like the Atlanta Falcons no one trusts them to win games(super bowl debacle) when they have big leads and are often clowned for this reason

Not just about blowing big leads, though that is the latest trauma. More that after teasing me that a corner has been turned, they'll once again lapse into inexplicable bouts of completely horrible play. Not just an off night or bad game but the snowball that becomes a 4 game avalanche. And rips my heart out once again.

That's all.

We're now #14 in the only ranking that counts, the .NET rankings that the selection committee supposedly uses for tournament seeding...

I'm pretty sure bag fumbling can and will happen again.

Hey now, watch yourself!

No matter how much we may dislike coaches, we draw the line at physical insults in these parts.
