All for Tennessee Women’s Basketball Jan. 25 SEC Power Rankings: Lady Vols Slip

The women’s basketball Volunteers fell a few spots in the official All for Tennessee women’s basketball SEC Power Rankings for Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2017.

The Tennessee Lady Vols are the epitome of the Southeastern Conference this year outside of the Top Two. You never know where to put them. And it continues to reflect in our SEC Power Rankings.

This week’s women’s basketball rankings included two jumps by three spots, but that was the most anybody changed.

We have a clear idea of who the top team is in the conference, and we also know who is clearly No. 2.

And similar to the men’s SEC Power Rankings, it’s pretty clear who the worst and second worst teams are as well.

But there is a ton of circular logic we have to use to rank the other 10. Obviously, record is a huge deal. Head to head matters too.

And strength of schedule and RPI also count.

Finally, we have to bring out who’s playing the best right now.

Right now, the conference only has two clear-cut teams in the Top 25. But both are Top Five teams. Meanwhile, three other teams are on the border of the Top 25.

However, in the RPI rankings, the conference has seven teams in the Top 25 and another team on the cusp while eight are in the Top 50 overall.

The problem is the bottom of the SEC is really bad, but those teams have managed to score inexplicable upsets against other SEC teams. Ask Holly Warlick.

And it throws our rankings for a loop.

But with a good idea of where teams stand, here are our women’s basketball SEC Power Rankings for Jan. 25.
