Subject: Poll predictions Author: TG28 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:18:32 01/11/09 Sun I fearlessly predict that the Marist women will gain three spots in the AP Poll tomorrow. #21-24 all lost games this past week, some of them lost two games. Howewver, Iowa State will jump over our ladies as they defeated #21 AND #24. Wake Forest just behind us lost also, so they will not move into the Top 25. The coaches poll is a tougher nut to crack as they had the women ranked 30th with only 9 points. We could possibly make the top 25 there, but I think 26 or 27 is more likely. Too many teams to jump over. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Better check this weeks scores againTG.. Author: Oldfox [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:58:26 01/11/09 Sun # 24 Vanderbilt defeated the Lady Vols and Georgia this past week. Agree on Iowa St. but don't think they beat two ranked teams. Ga Tech lost a game, but won't drop out and South Dakota State's loss to Oakland (who is pretty good) will give the writers an excuse to drop them out. I think the Foxes stay where they are, best case, they go up to 24. Great job by them this week, but their RPI and SOS both took a hit despite winning two game by 89 points. The MAAC looks to be down this year.

[> [> Subject: Re: Better check this weeks scores againTG.. Author: TG28 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:09:16 01/11/09 Sun OOPS, you're right. All of those teams only had one loss. It was Wake Forest, breathing down our necks that lost two. Plus, I think I assumed that Vandy would have two losses as they had Tennessee scheduled for Sunday. The win vs. the Lady Vols will keep them ahead of the Foxes.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Better check this weeks scores againTG.. Author: TG28 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:17:32 01/11/09 Sun OOPS again! I just saw that Wake lost again today, to Virginia, so they will stay behind the ladies. DePaul had a quality win vs. # 19 Pittsburgh, but they only had 8 points in last week's poll. Then again, the Panthers now have two losses last week, so they should lose some ground.

[> [> Subject: Re: Better check this weeks scores againTG.. Author: TG28 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:26:26 01/11/09 Sun Oldfox, Iowa State's wins were vs. #24 Vanderbilt, and #21 Okla. State. Those are two ranked teams, so that's why I predicted they would pass Marist. What's up with Summit's crew, anyhow?

[> [> [> Subject: They beat Vandy on 1/3.... Author: Oldfox [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:52:03 01/11/09 Sun so that should have reflected in the current poll, no? They beat somebody called IPFW and then Oklahoma State this week. Regardless, your prediction should hold and Iowa St. should vault over Marist.. That is a very nice stretch, especially since Vandy beat Tenn. I actually felt the Lady Vols would have a tougher go of it than it is turning out to be. They have 8 new playes on the team and she plays a very tough schedule. A win over Stanford isn't too bad in the midst of a "rebuilding" year. The team that is scary good in UConn. It seems that GA has made Storrs "the" program of choice for the top recruits, year after year. I read that Stephanie Dolson of Minisink Valley, a school in Orange County right across the river from Marist, the consensus #1 center in the Country has verballed to UConn.

[> Subject: The fearless predication of #21 by TG comes true Author: Andy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:14:22 01/12/09 Mon Yes #21 in latest AP poll but will coaches start to catch on.

[> [> Subject: Re: The fearless predication of #21 by TG comes true Author: TG28 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:13:03 01/12/09 Mon Actually, I predicted a move up three places to #22. I'm stunned that we jumped over Rutgers as well.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: The fearless predication of #21 by TG comes true Author: CTfoxfan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:44:26 01/12/09 Mon Pobably too much emphasis on the win/loss record and not on strength...but who cares.
