2022 Rankings - D1 Women

[Matnum PI]

Rankings should be based on each team's resume, specifically, each team's best wins and worst losses. In other words, the teams with the best wins and the best losses should be at the top of the pile. The teams with the worst wins and worst losses should be at the bottom. With this in mind, after one game for numerous teams, these are the 2022 current rankings.

Did you or your children go to Mt St Marys?

Did you or your children go to Mt St Marys?

Beating Towson isn't bad. #27 at the end of the 2021 season...

[Testudo98]

That’s awesome!!!

[Matnum PI]

That’s awesome!!!

Of course it's not AWESOME!... But it's better than the teams below them. Keep in mind, these rankings are based 100% on quality wins (and losses) in 2022. Thus far, in 2022, with a W over Towson, MSM is towards the top of the pile.

[Testudo98]

I was being nice. The Mount didn’t have a great legacy in my family.

Say, were you collaborating with FanLax Computer on this? How is that old curmudgeon anyway? Tell it I said, Up yours!" Affectionately, of course.

I agree, the MSM win over Towson was a nice one--on the road too. I'm learning to take these lists for what they are. Interesting to look at on occasion. Helps track other teams that don't get much ink in the mainstream.

if this was an attempt to be some what objective about the rankings..yikes. Sometimes just plugging numbers into a computer is not the best idea when it comes to more nuanced things.

It's true. I took the list from FanLax Computer's output. I'm sure he'll make an appearance once the season is in full swing and he's properly agitated.

How is Cuse above UNC? Beating JMU on the road 15-8 is much more impressive than Cuse beating Stanford 12-9 at home. Even in these rankings JMU is ranked above Stanford.

At the end of 2021, Stanford was above JMU. As we get deeper into 2022, we'll use the 2022 Rankings as the foundation.

When will the updated list from the past weekends games be up? Inquiring minds need to know.

lol - No one should be giving laxreference any gruff considering how horrible this ranking of teams is. Even when I look at the final 2021 rankings, it is pretty clear that there are gaping holes in the simplistic formula/methodology used to calculate this ranking.

I'm sorry, but this list is simply ridiculous. There are teams on here in the top 20 that clearly do not belong and will not be there at the end of the season. To think that Mount St. Mary's, William & Mary, Marquette, Vanderbilt, Davidson, Vermont, Canisius, George Mason and Pitt are top 20 teams is simply a farce. 9 of your top 20 teams are not even close to being in the top 20.

Why play one against the other? Let’s give ‘em both guff

To be fair though—Matnum explained in the first post that this is a Best Win/Worst Loss ranking. It’s not to be understood in the same way as weekly polls.

Then why is Notre Dame ranked above Michigan since UM beat them head to head?

Tomorrow.

I believe this ranking was calculated before they played.
