That's quite a jump, and as you said, well deserved! |

Nice jump. I thought we would be between 12-14. The nation has taken notice. It is so nice to be able to have discussions about rankings again, it's been too long.

#11 - behind #8......Colorado. What a joke.

Did not expect to pass VT, who beat #3 NCSt on the road. We're ahead by just five point, 514-509.

#11 - behind #8......Colorado. What a joke. Before the last game, there was a 13 spot difference between us, now it's 3. Colorado has a win against then ranked #1 LSU. I think the rankings are fair given the full body of work this season. I'm thankful we are in the discussion. Anybody think we would be talking about this after our 9 game losing streak and 11th place finish last year? |

Glad to be wrong about how far they would jump.

Glad to be wrong about how far they would jump. Me too. Still surprised the AP voters moved OSU above U Conn |

1. Polls don’t matter.
2. I spend most Monday mornings refreshing the poll page on ESPN.
Honestly, it’s great for these women to feel the love heading into a tough weekend. Both teams ranked (barely) ahead of them.

If we started in the top 15, we probably would be ranked 2 or 3. Ohio State doesn't have near the resume that any of the top 5 in Pac12 has.

After week 6, we were 7-0 against relatively weak opponents and, based on the handful of votes we received, would have been #37. In the following weeks, we were 33, 30, 28, 28, 26, 25, 18, 17, and now 11. When we lost the 2 games in LA, we stayed the same at 28. When we lost to Stanford, we moved up one to 25. We haven't lost since, and now we're 11. Overall, I think the ranking pretty fairly reflects our accomplishments at each stage of the season. |

We'd also have lost some games early with a tougher schedule, and likely have a lower ranking currently. This team is playing NOW like a top-10 team, but that's been only a very recent thing. Of course it's preferable to starting slow, climbing and peaking late vs. early hype that fades into a mediocre reality. I'm really enjoying this ride up the rankings. |

#17 Gonzaga has a win over Stanford, #14 Indiana doesn't have a single victory over a top 25 team and lost to Stanford by 32. Using votes for rankings is an imprecise science.

I just wish they didn't even have a top 25 come out until half the season is over with in any sport. I hate the fact that when ranking teams you have to go off the previous ranking. If a team is ranked in top 5 and proceeds to lose their first 3 of 4 games against unranked teams, they will still be ranked after that because they can only move them down so much. |
