Women’s College Basketball Players Rankings – Class by Class! Week 4 – Women's Basketball News and Opinions (wbasketballblog.com)

wasn't sure where to put this.

As a side not Rice listed in top frosh: Lepolo 62 assists, Rice 29

I believe rankings such as these, especially done weekly, have little value.  Seems like a fool's errand to attempt to evaluate and compare objectively the weekly performance of a very large pool of athletes playing against unbalanced competition.  I suppose it generates traffic to the website.

As an aside, the initial NCAA NET Rankings put 9-0 LSU at #5.  I can't understand how it landed there with such a weak Strength of Schedule.  #8 VA Tech (8-0), for example, has one fewer win but is 3-0 versus teams rated 26-50 and 1-0 versus teams between 51-100.  LSU on the other hand is 2-0 against teams rated 51-100.  All other LSU victories came against teams rated 150+.

I presume this will get straightened out as the season progresses. Still seems illogical to me.
