Will be some shake ups in the new poll coming out today, after a week where 5 teams ranked above #12 Mizzou lost a game, and 6 other top 25 teams ranked below us also lost a game (#18 Arizona State lost twice).

Here is what I think the poll will likely look like today:

1. UConn
2. Louisville
3. Miss State
4. Baylor
5. Notre Dame
6 Tennessee
7. Oregon
8. Texas
9. Ohio State
10. Missouri
11. South Carolina
12. FSU
13. UCLA
14. Maryland
15. Duke
16. TAMU

Louisville will easily be #2, after pounding previous #2 Notre Dame by 30+ points. ND will fall to #5 I think, but no farther, and you could flip them and Baylor. Tennessee is a little harder, after falling on the road to #17 TAMU, then whipping an Aja Wilson-less South Carolina on the road yesterday. I think they stay at #6. Texas lost to an unranked TCU team, so Oregon is going to jump them. #10 Ohio State and #12 Mizzou both won their only games last week, while #9 South Carolina and #11 Maryland both lost a game. So almost by default, I think we jump both Maryland and SC and are ranked 10 this week, although I could see the voters forgiving SC for their loss yesterday with Wilson sitting on the bench with a cast on her sprained ankle. TAMU will rise one spot to #16, even though they lost to an unranked Georgia team yesterday, based on their win over Tennessee, and #15 West Virginia losing yet again, and the 4 teams right behind them all losing a game.

2 unranked teams both beat 2 top 25 teams last week. Purdue beat #19 Iowa and #21 Rutgers, while TCU beat #7 Texas and #15 West Virginia.

And finally, I think the SEC gets 6 teams ranked this week, as 16-2 Georgia will crack the top 25 based on their huge win over TAMU on the road yesterday in overtime. The 4 teams ranked 22-25 all won last week, but #18 Arizona State lost twice, #19 Iowa lost, #20 Ok State lost, and #21 Rutgers lost. So I could see Georgia ranked as high as 22 today.
