The Lady Volunteers had a major drop in the All for Tennessee women’s basketball SEC Power Rankings for the week of Feb. 8, 2017.

Well the Tennessee Lady Vols just can’t figure out where they belong in the SEC Power Rankings. The massive inconsistency continues for Holly Warlick’s team.

But Tennessee isn’t the only team that took a hit because of that this week.

As we get set to bring you our women’s basketball SEC Power Rankings for this week, the changes in the standing are weighed based on the schedule strength of some teams vs the wins of others.

Those things were pretty consistent this week, but it forced us to get a little bit more conventional in where we place each team. So this week, the rankings are a bit more in line with the SEC standings.

We didn’t factor in margin of victory as much this week, but we did factor in RPI rankings.

Two teams woke back up to reality, another team is more inconsistent than the Lady Vols and had a huge jump with a dramatic turnaround, and there is still a clear-cut top two.

Right now, the conference has 11 teams in the Top 100 of the RPI, and eight of them are in the Top 30.

Legitimately, those eight teams would all be in the NCAA Tournament right now, and one of those other teams is clearly on the bubble at this point despite falling this past week in our standings.

So with a major disparity between where some teams stand here and their postseason hopes, these are the official All for Tennessee women’s basketball SEC Power Rankings for the week of Feb. 8, 2017.
