Georgia at #9? Ignoring their wins over #1 Michigan and #5 UCLA and paying more attention to the loss to Pitt? Come on dawg!

Not sure I understand some of these rankings but there are games to be played that will help sort it out. And, it is important that it gets sorted out for the sake of the National Tournament . With 11 AQ & only 5 at large invitations, there are 8 teams currently ranked that will not get an invite based on this week's ranking.

I think 8 of the current top 20 would be on the outside looking in.

Based only on this week's poll, and assuming the highest polled team will win their league's AQ (not always going to happen, but it's a start), here's how Nationals would look:

Current Poll:
1. WCLL (AQ 1) - Michigan ***
2. SWLL (AQ 2) - Florida Club ***
3. RMWLL (AQ 3) - BYU ***
4. (At Large 1) - Colorado State ***
5. WWLL (AQ 4) - UCLA ***
6. (At Large 2) - UC Santa Barbara ***
7. (At Large 3) - Chapman ***
8. (At Large 4) - Santa Clara ***
9. (At Large 5) - Georgia ***
10. Colorado
11. TWLL (AQ 5) - Texas ***
12. Pittsburgh
13. Cal Poly SLO
14. UC Davis Club
15. MAWLL (AQ 6) - Maryland Club ***
16. Central Florida
17. Virginia Club
18. NCWLL (AQ 7) - Minnesota ***
19. Arizona State
20. South Carolina Club

PLUS 4 CURRENTLY UNRANKED TEAMS FROM AQ LEAGUES:
CPWLL (AQ 8 ) – Missouri / Kansas / Arkansas ? ***
NEWLL (AQ 9) – Boston College / Northeastern ? ***
ECWLL (AQ 10) – Army / West Chester ? ***
NWWLL (AQ 11) – Oregon / Washington ? ***

Top 5 teams not at nationals in this hypothetical scenario: Colorado, Pitt, Cal Poly, UC Davis, Central Florida
