Women's college basketball Power Rankings: Upcoming games could shake up top five teams (espn.com)
1st reveal of 16 is halftime Thursday of Arizona game. Voepel points out we scored over 100 points 1st 2 league games. Since then averaging 65. Whatever new offenses we implemented haven't shown up
RE: WBB:new power rankings - Card10Fan - 02-06-2023
Definitely think we should have dropped more than 2 spots. Went from #4 to #6. Will see what the AP poll says later today.

If this were the actual seeding I kind of like it. I'd take a #2 seed in the same region as a #1 seed LSU over a #1 seed with Connecticut as the #2 in the same region any day.
AP Poll 2-6-23
1. South Carolina
2. Indiana
3. LSU
4. Connecticut
5. Iowa
6. Stanford

Hopefully dropping to #6 will slap our team across the face and wake them up to the importance of every game. They had no business losing to UW. None.

I deleted my posts from another thread to consolidate with this one. Here they are:
*****
The latest loss knocked us down 2 notches to 5 on Massey, and 2 notches down on NET to 4. The AP knocked us down 4 notches to 6. Coaches poll not out yet. I think at this point we are probably a high 2 seed. We will see what Charlie says.
The good news is that there will be losses by some of the teams ahead of us, as when LSU plays South Carolina. The bad news is it won't matter unless we fix our issues and go undefeated the rest of the way. Of our final 8 Pac 12 games, neutral observers would probably have said that Washington was only the 7th toughest on the schedule, so we have a LOT of work to do.
Net ratings of our 8 final Pac 12 opponents. The very last game, played on the road at altitude, after a difficult game at Colorado, on 1 1/2 days rest, against a team that has not lost at home this year--will likely determine the Pac 12 champion--if we are lucky and don't lose before then.
*win* WSU 45
*loss* Washington 71
*Thursday* Arizona 25
Arizona State 118
USC 28
UCLA 27
Colorado 20
Utah 7

Charlie has Stanford hanging on to a #1 seed over LSU by "a sliver."
Quote:Determining the final No. 1 seed in this projection might have been the most difficult decision in the history of women's Bracketology. Iowa, LSU and Stanford all were in the running. If we have learned anything from recent selection committees, they have liked quality wins and don't like suspect schedules. That's why Stanford, despite Sunday's loss at Washington, won out by a sliver. LSU's schedule, among the worst for all major conference teams, remains an anchor for the Tigers. Stanford and Iowa have played top-10 schedules, and the Cardinal are 5-1 against the NET top 25 -- tied with Indiana and North Carolina for the second-most such wins in the country, behind UConn. Stanford also is tied with the Huskies for the most top-50 NET wins (10). LSU's unbeaten record is not discounted nor is the Hawkeyes' recent hot streak, but Stanford still has the better overall resume. We will find out exactly what this committee thinks when it reveals its current top-16 teams in seed order at halftime of Thursday's Stanford-Arizona game (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App).

But in a way, the whole contorted exercise is pointless unless the team dramatically turns itself around, as it faces multiple opponents far more difficult than Washington over the next three weeks. If we are barely a 1 seed now, we can't expect to keep a 1 seed if we lose again.

Coaches poll out today, we drop 3 points from 2 to 5.

It's been a weird season. We lost to USC and WU, looking pretty horrible in the process, but in between those losses we beat ostensibly (much) better teams like CU and UT by double digits, while looking generally pretty great. I thought the Utah game in particular was well-played on our part. So which team will show up? And how do you measure the rest of the Pac-12, given that basically every team in conference has been up and down all conference season?
RE: WBB:new power rankings - JohnR34231 - 02-08-2023
Most of our impressive conference victories have been at home, while our losses (and an unimpressive victory against Kal) have been on the road. Wonder how much that has to do with it? With tough road games coming up, I hope not too much.
