Two teams with 5 losses ranked ahead of LSU in the poll. Colorado beat us so I am okay with that although the SEC is stronger than Pac12. They just have something against CKM and it will only get worse when she wins another Natty. Just win baby!

They will make a late season push and win the SEC tourney to get a top spot

We destroyed Va Tech. Yet, they’re ranked ahead of us. I’ve corrected it.

So this is what we are complaining about today? LSU women should be 12 instead of 13?

AP Top 25 Women's College Basketball Poll
First-place votes in parentheses

TEAM RECORD
1. South Carolina (35) 25-0
2. Ohio St. 22-3
3. Stanford 23-3
4. Iowa 23-3
5. Texas 24-4
6. NC State 23-3
7. Southern Cal 20-4
8. Virginia Tech 22-4
9. Oregon St. 21-4
10. Kansas St. 22-4
11. Colorado 20-5
12. UCLA 20-5
13. LSU 21-4
14. Indiana 21-3
15. UConn 22-5

I said this in another thread

quote:

We haven’t received much respect nationally. In the AP poll we have only moved up exactly 1 week this entire season. Started the season at #1, lost go Colorado then fell to #7. We stayed in that spot every week until we lost Auburn, and we fell to #10. Then after two weeks we finally moved up one spot in the poll to #9 where we sat until we lost to Miss State and fell to #13. Where we currently sit while teams like Va Tech jump us from behind in weeks that we win both games.

Oh boy. Out of all the irrational "everyone hates us" takes, the WBB one is the lamest.

Where is the guy that said half the top 25 had no losses?

I wish LSU was 11 in betting odds. They would definitely be worth taking. They are listed 3rd favorite on betting sites.

You got to admit tho, that out of conference strength of schedule was piss poor. That's why they not ranked so high. But that shite don't matter with Coack Mulkey, they apply pressure to whoever in front of them. I love this team.

Its all about media control. USC is not better than LSU, but theyre ranked ahead because they are trying to get that L.A. crowd to watch. Iowa would lose a game this year but would never get dropped lower than #4. If they stay at 4 thats a #1 seed for Caitlyn Clark which would be easier for Iowa to get to the Final 4 which equals ratings.

It doesn’t matter what the rankings say. They just have to get the winning streak going. If Morrow and Poa play like they played the last game we’ll go for back to back championships. Morrow was a rebounding machine.

silly voter polls are a relic from decades ago. The champion is decided by the tournament.

Polls don't matter. Ignore them.

I wouldn’t say that. Outside of Carolina and LSU, the SEC basically stinks. PAC 12 has six teams in the Top 25.

ESPN definitely has something against CKM. When LSU was 16-1 and ranked number 4 overall in the Coach’s poll ESPN’s bracketology had LSU as a 3 seed which was complete garbage. And LSU was not even the highest ranked 3 seed.

Great news. There is a playoff and as long as your are in, it doesn’t matter.

Because the rest of the country sees what those not on purple and gold blinders see……this team is not good. They are lucky to be ranked as high as they are. We have no PG. Haley and Poa are space cadets half the time. Stupid turnovers. We don’t get rebounds. Outside of Morrow, we can’t shoot. Keep Angel away from the block and she’s obsolete. We may have led almost the entire SC game but were never in control. Defensively, they are horrible. Won’t win the SEC tourney and will be lucky to make it to 3rd Rd of NCAA tournament. Last year was a fun ride but it’s not happening again.
