Pac-12 doormat Arizona got 4 points despite being 0-4 in conference and 7-8 overall. Guess someone got them confused with Arizona State.

I understand how Baylor is ranked as high as they are, but that sure seems like a mirage. They have gone 2-1 over ranked teams, but those wins are over a ludicrously over-ranked Oklahoma State and a squeaker over Syracuse.

And DePaul is somehow still getting votes. I know people have a (somewhat inexplicable) obsession with Doug Bruno, but this is ridiculous.

SYR took a beating for barely getting edged by Duke.

All the yapping about stuff that happened early in the season is meaningless later in the season when teams are definitely not the same. All teams mature over the course of time, even UConn. And some change due to injury, transfer, newly eligible players, etc. So the Stanford that beat UConn early may very well get soundly drubbed if the game were held tomorrow, and Tennessee might well turn around and beat Texas next week. It's NOT "SSDD"!

Seriously, Arizona has 10 points in this poll, putting them at #34 in the nation...WTF?!?!!? Like a poster earlier said, this HAS to be a mistake right? Clearly whoever cast votes for them had to mean Arizona State.

ND should be higher than Louisville and Baylor, who haven't beaten/played anyone, and probably Tennessee, who lost to Chat. Fortunately upcoming games against Louisville and Tennessee will clarify this.

Not the first time that's happened. Not only do they have the Pac-12 teams in the wrong order, they can't keep 'em straight.

When I looked they had 4 (see earlier post), when you looked they had 10, and now they aren't listed. I guess there has been some typo correction going on.
Edit to add: The poll was corrected; see http://www.foxsports.com/arizona/story/ap-women-s-basketball-poll-asu-arizona-rankings-011215

LOL...seriously, if these writers don't know the difference between Arizona and ASU or even know that there are 2 different institutions, should they really have votes for the AP poll? I guess the Arizona State men's team will never get in the polls given the history of the Arizona program and their lofty status again this year.
I honestly don't see how this can happen unless someone is completely out of it...and by it, I mean life in general.

I wonder how many losses it will take for Duke to disappear entirely? No ACC games are a gimme...well maybe BC.

Maybe it's like a couple years ago when Jordan Crawford got a vote in the NBA for 6th Man of the Year, when Jamal Crawford was one of the top candidates.

I'm attempting a guess at Week 11 poll
1. SC
2. UCONN - Probably stuck here at least until 2/09.
3. BAY - Well coached but not a ton of talent. Still don't like seeing them this high.
4. LOU - By themselves this time.
5. TENN
6. ND
7. MARY
8. TEX
9. OREST
10. TAMU
11. STAN
12. ASU
13. KEN
14. UNC
15. DUKE
16. NEB
17. FSU
18. MISST
19. PRIN - No play, no gains
20. IA
21. MIN
22. GA
23. RUT - They deserved to be rewarded more but I can't see dropping GA more than 4 spots after beating VAN
24. SYR
25. WKU - Looks who's back!
Out: OKST - Bye!!

I'm wondering if UNC will be behind Ky. UNC has better record and lost to top 10 ND last week while Ky lost to unranked LSU. Also, will UNC drop behind Stanford which it beat and which has a worse record?

Are you also saying MIN should be above NEB?
I'm just trying to predict what this media panel will come up with based on their previous polls.

Not exactly parralel. UNC was projected to be top 10 and has some wins like Stanford, OkSt and Rutgers.
Minnesota's record is very thin with really only the NU win being notable. They need to earn a higher ranking. That said, even though I like NU and expected (incorrectly it appears) that they would win the B10, I think their current ranking is based on preseason expectations and and the one win over Duke and indeed it wouldn't offend me if they fell a little.
But we're predicting poll movement and as you know movement in the polls isn't that rapid generally, so the NU-Minn situation is not equivalent to UNC-Ky-Stanford who were already much more closely bunched.
I was also trying to predict what the media panel would do. The rankings would probably look different if I was starting with a clean slate rather than making incremental changes from last week.
