It’s like a Rodney Dangerfield stand-up routine. The Syracuse basketball women’s team continually gets no respect and are kept out of the AP top-25. Even after absolutely destroying Duke by 26 points, it wasn’t enough to vault them into the top 25. What gives?
Yes, they lost to North Carolina a game later, but that was after the weekly poll came out that still had Syracuse on the outside looking in. Sorry, but that’s just not right. This team deserves to be ranked in the top 25 even now, and assuredly after the Duke game.
In the current AP top-25, there are three teams with four losses or more.
