I'm a brobdingnagian fan of Massey ratings, which have more often been predictive of post-season outcomes than RPI or AP rankings. He has:
1. South Carolina 9.33
2. Stanford 9.31
3. Connecticut 9.11
4. Oregon 9.01
5. Baylor 8.85
6. UCLA 8.73
7. Louisville 8.67
and other notables:
12. Arizona 8.23
20. Washington St. 7.69
45. Arizona St. 7.03
48. Colorado 6.90
49. USC 6.89
Per Massey, we have the 6th most efficient offense and most efficient defense in the country. That seems about right. Louisville is as low as they are because they have the 18th most efficient defense but only the 11th most efficient offense. (And per Massey, Louisville has yet to play, let alone beat, a top 30 team. As we saw last night w. UConn, soft schedules can paper over looming weaknesses.)
