WBB: American Southwest Conference

I don't know exactly who makes up the polling list, but until the teams in the ASC play a significant number of games against teams from the rest of the country then the accuracy of the poll will be questioned. History breeds tradition not places on a poll.

If they can get it back together MC has a very balanced team and could prove to be formidable opponent at the conference tournament. It would be a major coup for the East if they can win it all.

sethhpu, before last night's loss by MissColl to LC, I thought that having 4 teams in the South Region Rankings might have given us 3 teams in the Tourney, 2 plus MissColl which is > 500 miles away.

If Miss Coll falls out of the In-Region ranking, then I will say only 2, if Miss Coll doesn't win the Pool A.

By Miss Coll not being a ranked team, the loss to an unranked team, which I perceive is less valuable, hurts HPU and HSU. Likewise McM's win over MC loses value as well.

I may be off-base on this, but if I am considering criteria, I believe that playing a ranked team is better than any outcome with an unranked team. I will appreciate any corrections to this belief (on-line or offline) by an official in committee capacity.

New Coaches Poll still has the 4 ASC teams in the Top 25.

Maybe I did not make myself clear. What I said was not the way I thought it "should be," but just the way it is year in and year out. Right now in the the men's McMurrry and MC are the only team that get noticed. That again is based on past history. It is the same in football. HSU is in till they get beat. Now things change, MHB in football gets attention because for a couple of year they have earned attention.
