This week I moved Louisville up to #3 and Penn St down to #4. I know Penn St beat Louisville 3-0, but that was 2 months ago and Louisville looks so much better now. I always ask this question - If two teams were playing in a neutral site who would I bet on and in this case I would bet on Louisville today.

LV at 2 is silly

[bruinsgold]

Y'all these votes are getting wilder and wilder!

Nebraska at 4? Louisville at 7? SMU at 18? Oregon at 14? 

Not even ranking Kentucky? I can name probably 14 to 16 teams that have either been better or more consistent than Kentucky. But not 25 teams. They're not the Kentucky of Olde, but they're still rank-able

I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT!!

Las Vegas isn't even in my Top 5 Best Vacation Destinations in the United States list!

This is an outrage.

Seems fine

I'm with you on most of this, but I don't think Oregon at 14 is that crazy. Their best wins are BYU, USC and Illinois. Meh.

Fair but I've watched quite a few of their matches and I think they're better than 14. From the eye test, of course.

That Colyer player -- she might be a great one 😁
