And somehow Georgia is ranked #12, down just 4 spots from last week. Don’t get me wrong, at this point I want GA to have a heck of a remaining season, giving our 2 victories and series win (and near sweep) even more value for our eventual NCAA tournament resume. But 12 is hard to figure, after a week in which they went 1-3 against two unranked teams, us and North Carolina. They have zero wins against a top 25 team all year, and lost their only game to a top 25 ranked team when they fell to #22 Indiana. They also split against Virginia Tech, who is just outside today’s poll at #26, but their schedule is a joke too just like Georgia’s. GAs SOS is awful, making them check in at #39 in the seasons first RPI ranking that came out yesterday.
The SEC has 9 teams ranked in the top 17 in today’s poll, plus Ole Miss checking in at #24. Only Mizzou, Miss St, and TAMU are unranked. We had 1 point in today’s poll, so some coach put us at #25 on their ballot after we took the series from GA.
Here are the double digit discrepancies in comparing today’s poll with the first RPI ranking of the season:
#12 Georgia (39)
#15 Arkansas (29)
#16 SC (30)
#18 Arizona State (32)
#23 Wisconsin (45)
