I'm surprised Stanford did not drop further down.

I am too. Maybe the voters took into account that the game against UCLA was very close, and that all the teams ranked above Stanford and UCLA had close calls against unranked or much lower ranked teams last week.

I prefer Nolan's. Stanford and Oregon are the best and second best team in the Pac-12. The AP puts UCLA ahead of both of them,
RE: WBB: New AP Rankings out 1/25 - 81alum - 01-25-2021
I think it is fair. We took the five slot slide because of Colorado, but flipping positions with UCLA, given that we beat them before, seems like a fair outcome.
They might have been influenced by the NET rankings, which replaced RPI for women this year:

Stanford is still #2 there.

Since the NCAA has now adopted NET rankings will these rankings be used by the tournament selection committee as their primary seeding tool?
RE: WBB: New AP Rankings out 1/25 - TheRicker - 01-25-2021
AP #7, NET #10 Maryland lost to AP#14, NET #11 Ohio State on Monday evening 88 - 86.

Just curious, for all the calculations that take into account home versus away games (I know RPI does, not sure about the others), are the games in Santa Cruz considered to be "home" games or "neutral" games?

I wonder if home court advantage goes away this year, the year without fans.
If it does not, then we will know that we fans are not that important--that it is about other things like knowing the sight-lines in your own gym, sleeping in your own bed, etc.
I suspect it will sharply diminish, though, but either way it will be an interesting experiment to prove how much we fans are worth in the gym.

Well, for college football, it seems to have gone away:

(and of course, we were 4-1 on the road and 0-1 at home).

Back in the day we were in L.A. for the weekend and I took my daughter to see Stanford WBB play at $C, it was Nicole Powell's senior year IIRC. Official attendance was 200, but the real attendance had to be around 100, and that was counting arena janitors, ushers, security, about 30 members of the $C band, and about 20 Stanford fans.
It was like watching practice. Not exactly much home court advantage.
But I do think home court advantage exists, especially when there aren't many convenient fan alternatives -- I'm thinking of when Stanford WVB would go out to play Nebraska in front of 12-15000 people.
