With respect as it was a great article, many sports are like a ladder. To take one example, softball is a ladder but Michigan has been at the top rung for a while despite being a Midwest team. To take a painful example not including a disastrous last year, football has been mired on the second rung for a while. Alabama first, Clemson second, with OSU a distant third are on the top rung. What is currently semi-unique about women’s basketball vs. men’s basketball is that a team can be firmly on the second rung and still lose by 40 to a team on the first rung such as Connecticut.
