Your assessment of UCLA is flawed. You left out one of their best guards Gabriela Jaquez the co-mvp of the McDonalds All American team. She is one of the top 3 players on by the team. Any assessment of UCLA must include her. Ask any coach in women’s ball if they enjoy watching her play.
She is a good player but UCLA needs 3pt shooters around Betts to punish teams when they collapse on her. A slashing small fwd / guard is not the key to UCLA it is how Jones, rice and E shoot from outside. as well as Gardner remaining unconscious from 3 as well.
IMHO SC needs to decide on a rotation with some 30+ minute players and TJ should be one of them. 50% 3pt fg's? She and TP are the ones that showed up vs UCLA.
Id be worried if my core was already set ... SC is discovering who their core 5 is gonna be .. ND will get additional post help ...thats the 2 teams id like to see what the finished product looks like ! LSU a bit high close wins over lesser teams .. about #8 feels more right to me
@@Swagu-02 the 1 thing I think hindering LSU is the lack of a dominant big. No replacement for Angel, the remaining big 3 are super talented but the lack of a top big really hurts them against a UCLA type team.
@@stevederr4927 yeah that is what i was discussing after the last game yesterday. LSU can’t depend on their guard play to win.. need a big definitely. I know for sure the best compete team to me is UCLA..
I find your current rankings to be pretty much spot on. Would you now agree that Lauren Betts is the best big in WCB? Early on you had Reagan Beers ahead of her. Having the best rim protector in the country, combined with her supporting cast, will make UCLA really hard to beat. It's like when South Carolina had Cardoso. Also, please give some love to my second favorite team, West Virginia. They always bring it, and might have defeated Iowa in the tournament last year if not for the home cooking at Iowa. They almost took down Texas this year, and have blown off the map everybody else they've played this year.
@@back2sports Yeah, I think Betts is more mobile than Beers, and when UCLA played Oregon State, I felt that Betts got the better of her both times. ...West Virginia is a team that nobody wants to play, because even though they don't have as much talent as some other teams, they are the epitome of, "gritty" and they have a great coach.
@@DMP2923 SC won against Michigan in Vegas, NC State in Charlotte, Iowa State in Florida & TCU in Texas all ranked teams. Duke was the only ranked team played at home in Columbia, SC. Six ranked teams in the first 10 games.
@@DMP2923 we will see what happens in March. UCLA has the weakest schedule so they will appear to be the best team but in March is where we will see the real test.
@@stevederr4927 exactly & UCLA isn’t playing anybody good. They beat SC but Notre Dame beat USC but lost to TCU who got blown out by SC. This year is def interesting but I’m mad that UCLA isn’t playing any ranked teams except for SC at home. Weak schedule.
@@LLCoolNay630preseason, UCLA had the 2nd most top 25 opponents on their schedule behind only South Carolina, when making a schedule you can only do so much. You can’t control how good other teams are going to be and it’s not their fault those other teams have fallen out of the top 25. The team is still incredibly strong and will be able to give SC a run in March, they still have the B1G slate ahead which according to the AP is the deepest conference this season. 🤷♂️ time will only tell but your logic of a weak schedule doesn’t hold up
I agree with your top 10 picks. It's early in the season and anything could happen until now and March Madness. They're all jumping on the ND bandwagon just because they beat the Huskies.
Beating the Huskies was easy, and they will be beat again. You are right, Uconn has no excuses. If they can't beat Notre Dame, Duke deserves your #7 spot😅
I'm a Notre Dame fan and I think the Irish are being overhyped for now. I'm still not over the TCU and Utah losses. I'd feel better if they were able to hang on to beat one of them.
Agree with current top 3, rest you can throw in a hat. SC is the best team, and I think USC is overrated. As a UConn fan the Huskies will rip off 14 wins in a row which includes Iowa St and USC, conference should be a breeze. Next show me where you are game will be Tenn and of course SC a few games after. Depth of UConn is nowhere near SC
I think that’s the problem with South Carolina. They rotate their players in and out so much, they don’t get a rhythm. If a player makes one mistake, they are quickly taken out.
agree with that. we will no more when they play Tennessee and SC -- if health and big if, PB, Chen, Fudd, Strong El Alfy and then Cheli / Ice , griffen , KK , shade. not bad.
I usually like you, but you are being a hypocrite.Who did ucla, usc, lsu, play ND is only team that played a hard schedule, none of ranking mean shit until March. Uconn has an easy big east schedule. Other top teams have much harder schedules.. don't sleep on Uconn down the lo g haul
Yes ND has played 3 top Five teams but SC won against Michigan in Vegas, NC State in Charlotte, Iowa State in Florida & TCU in Texas all ranked teams. They beat Duke (ranked team) at home in Columbia, SC. Yes they got beat badly at UCLA. They’ve played 6 ranked opponents in their first 10 games, that’s a tough schedule that will serve them well later in the season, come tournament time.
@@BernardWallen Interesting you mentioned neutral court. ND had an extreme officiating and crowd advantage and yet UConn was within 2 or 3 possessions, calls, or shots. ND shot lights out, had no fear of getting a foul or anything called on them, and still had to make 4 shots in a row to pull it out in the end. UConn probably won't win it all, but they can spoil it for any team easy.
Trust me I hate myself all the time. Now why are I hating me because UConn is too low or high. Was not sure what my top ten Crim is. Yes ND has played the hardest schedule then most other had 2 reasonable games.

You would think this was the case, but today AP had UConn at #4, pushing Texas and LSU down. We both know UConn would lose to those teams.

Can Cal get an honorable mention? They were a buzz-saw vs Stanford. Keep up the good work 🙂
Thanks will keep in mind for next video
Good video seems spot on. I have UConn above Southern Cal. Lindsey Gottlieb doesn’t seem to know what to do with Kiki Iriafen.
Yep punished UConn as had more recent loss and figured UConn Vs USC would sort out anyway.
IMHO SC needs to decide on a rotation with some 30+ minute players and TJ should be one of them. 50% 3pt fg's? She and TP are the ones that showed up vs UCLA.

Good top 10, but only UCLA & SC look unbeatable. USC, UConn, LSU all look vulnerable.
And watch LSU prove you wrong. And I’m not going to sleep on Tennessee, watch Tennessee may come and beat most of those teams you named..
Go south Carolina 🎉

Yep would take Betta over Beers. UCLA looks good but is early & need to stay healthy in backcourt . Need to watch WV , did not see the Texas game.

South Carolina winning it all again. Nobody beating them in March. UCLA not beating SC on a neutral stage. Home court advantage makes a difference.
Yea they are so good yet can't win on the road ¿

The "natural title?" What does that mean? Are the least artificial team?
@@VincentBaker-j1b NATIONAL Title, please don't sweat the small stuff.

MD and Ohio State are both undefeated. Not much love for the Big 10. We will find out soon how good they both are when their games get tougher.
Yes. that is what i want to see. Not saying they are good or bad until i see them play more teams. MD did get Duke at home which was a good win.
