BURN THE HORSE
The new CollegeInsider.com Women's Mid-Major Top 25 poll is out and UALR is ranked No. 4.http://www.collegeinsider.com/midmajor/
College Insider has done a men's poll for several years, but this is the first for the women's poll. Had this poll been out last year, UALR would have been a top 10 team for at least the second half of the season. The No. 4 ranking is big and puts UALR up there with some Mid-Major elites. And you might also notice that UALR received a No. 1 vote.
The writers and coaches polls should be out in the next week or so. UALR figures to either be ranked at the bottom of the top 25 or, more likely, among those receiving several votes. It was interesting to follow the polls last season to see who was voting for UALR. And frankly, outside of Sun Belt affiliated voters, UALR wasn't receiving a whole lot of respects. Beating Georgia Tech in the NCAA Tournament may have changed that. We'll find out soon enough.
