    We are in week three and the Coaches Poll is still in preseason mode.
    http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/rankings

    Big 12 teams: Texas (2), BU (8), WVU (11), OU (26), OSU (34).

    Kamie Ethridge’s team, Northern Colorado, is at 37 with 3 votes. Wonder when they will come up on our schedule. They are currently 4-0 with wins over DePaul and LSU. :hookem:

    Horns jumped to #4 in the week three rankings. :hookem2:
    Tied with UCLA who are going to drop after this loss to UConn.
    Not sure they will be able to overcome UConn's 11 point edge in the second half.

    Only three Big 12 schools are ranked but all three are in the top ten of the AP poll: Texas (#2), BU (#8) and WVU (#10).

    OSU and OU are receiving votes. Not sure why OU is at 3-4. Not sure why Kansas at 7-0 is not receiving any votes. Of course, the Jayhawks best win is over Arkansas.

    Horns at 13th in the RPI rankings above.
    KSU (9), WVU (11) and BU (25) join Texas in the top 25.

    Still early and I expect Texas to move up.

    Despite the struggles prior to the UCONN game, Creme has bumped Texas up to the 2 seed in the Lexington bracket with 1 seed Louisville. In today's iteration, if seeding held, Texas would play 7-seed Stanford in round 2 and then 3-seed South Carolina in the Sweet 16.

    Also:

    At halftime of the Thursday Showcase game between No. 6 Tennessee and No. 5 Notre Dame (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET), the NCAA Division I women's basketball committee will unveil its current top 16 teams in seed order, as well as the top four teams in each region.

    Crème has Baylor as a #1 seed while acknowledging the conditions for the UCLA loss. He also notes the terrible non-conference schedule they played. Our 2 games with Baylor could shake up the seeding considerably. A sweep by the Horns might put us as a #1. A split is status quo. Two losses by the good guys would probably drop us to #3 or perhaps a #4 if another loss creeps in there somewhere. With 2 months to go LOTS could change. He says that the top 13 are pretty set with some wannabe's lurking just outside. I think he sees the Horns as the #8 team right now.

    Not sure that I would rather be a #1 seed in Spokane rather than a #2 seed in Lexington. The only caveat being that Lville would likely be that #1 see in the lexington region which would essentially be a home game for the cards.

    Baylor being a #1 seed is a joke; their SOS is awful. I hope the committee does to them what they did to Maryland last season for having such a shameful non-conference schedule.

    If Baylor gets a pass for their loss at UCLA (who now isn't even a Top 16 seed themselves, then we should get a pass for not having Joyner available to play at Tennessee, a team who right now is Top 8 seed).

    Even if Baylor had beaten UCLA, their SOS would still be garbage (and UCLA would be out of the Top 25 most likely); granted, their RPI would be higher for being undefeated, but not sure it would be in the Top 4.

    Glad the committee saw though Baylor's sham of a non-conference schedule and placed them at #9.

    And again, we see that Charlie Creme's predictions are full of it!
