The National Ultimate Media Panel's Womens Top 20 for the weeks beginning Feb 25, 2009 can be found below. The NUMP is proud to annouce that, i believe, for the first time in the organization's history that the Womens voting out numbered the Mens!
3 columns this week...current rank, team name and number of points earned thru the balloting. 4 different teams earned first place votes, as indicated in the parentheses. UC SB earned 11, Oregon only 1 but finished #2 in the rankings...while Washington garnered 8 first place votes and Wisconsin 3.
In 4 rankings this season, 3 teams have been ranked #1 UCSB in the preseason poll, followed by UBC, then Washington and again UCSB.
I hope you enjoy keeping up with these rankings....please post them to your website if you'd like...and use them to rank teams at your next tournament!

---that is the dumbest question EVER on rsd. duh.....the points column are the number of votes tabulated for a given team for ONE PARTICULAR week of voting.
The UC Santa Barbara women earned 421 votes THIS week....and were voted #1 by 11 of the National Ultimate Media Panel Members

Similar to the men's side in that the "big names" seem to have the advantage in the poll. At any rate, this list is great locker room motivation for those teams that were overlooked this week...

Who was overlooked? I'd love to hear more about teams that aren't getting enough respect. I can't say that I'll agree but I'm always interested to hear other viewpoints.
The only major oddity I see in the rankings is that Berkeley should be a couple spots higher. They are 2-0 vs. UCLA and 1-0 vs. UBC. Plus, their only losses have been to Stanford and UCSB.
Also, I only see 5 NW teams in the top 10. All of them are deserving (fyi, I'm not from the NW).
I think all four of the teams that got 1st place votes are good candidates for number one but I'm a bit surprised that UW has so many votes despite losing to Oregon at Bellingham. Maybe those voters think that UW will be the better team down the road but I think you've got to factor in regular season results, right?
Wisconsin vs. UCSB for number one would be a much more intriguing debate if Bella Donna had won TiV. I'm sure that they will be in the mix come Memorial Day.

Specifically, I think Dartmouth looked pretty good at Mardi Gras last weekend and faired a bit better against Michigan than Texas (though we were not at full strength). Emory, though not particularly deep, also has the potential to match up with those listed. I'm also suprised that Illinois didn't break the top 20 after a pretty good showing at President's Day.

I agree. I guess missing Semi's at Pres Day probably hurt them in the rankings.

True. I mis-counted. Also, I was just pointing it out...I played college in the NW, so the continued dominance is fine by me :). These teams play eachother so much. It goes a long way to raise and maintain the higher level of play.

That's a good point, but looking at Vegas is tough this year what with the crazy weather. Also, it was probably Wisco's first time playing outside in quite a while.
Always happy to see a women's thread get a bump on RSD... linds
