This notion that Mississippi State is a better team than UConn is perplexing. Not counting the eye test, every indicator is strongly in UConn's favor. They are a 10-pt favorite over the Bulldogs on a neutral site according to Sagarin's computer model and an even bigger favorite according to Massey's. Now, the Bulldogs were a 22-pt underdog last April and eeked out a win but that doesn't mean they were the better team.
State is really good but basically have played to their top level with their best players (Vivians, McCowan) having career seasons. As for UConn, four of their top players are battling injuries, Williams and Collier have not played to last year's level, Sameulson has missed 35% of the schedule, Stevens has struggled to adjust to a new defensive scheme, and the national POY in high school has been a non factor for the most part. UConn's ceiling is so much higher.
Some fans of the sport are just sick and tired of UConn. We root for all their opponents.
I don't think anyone is saying Mississippi State is better than UConn, just some think its a little odd that all 32 votes are for UConn being #1 when usually its not so lopsided. Looking forward to a rematch with UConn this time for the National Championship!
