SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw figures top-ranked Connecticut will provide the best possible measuring stick for her second-ranked Fighting Irish.We need to see where we are. We havent really played a great game, McGraw said Tuesday.Voters in The Associated Press womens basketball poll moved the Huskies (7-0) ahead of Irish (8-0) on Monday, marking the first time in 11 years a team lost the top ranking without actually losing a game. The Irish say theyre not concerned.Rankings really dont matter, its really about the best team wins, Irish guard Marina Mabrey said.McGraw said two months ago that this season should be more open in womens basketball because the Huskies looked more vulnerable. UConn eked out a 78-76 win over Florida State to open the season, but since then have had little trouble.Notre Dame has outscored opponents 85.8 to 54 on average so far this season, while the Huskies have outscored opponents 81 to 56.9. The Huskies have the more impressive victories with four over Top 25 opponents, while the Irish have one.The Irish will have the crowd behind them Wednesday night, which UConn coach Geno Auriemma said will be a challenge.Were going to have to match that. Theyre deep, have a lot of players. Were not so (deep) right now, he said.Auriemma said he was looking forward to preparing his team to face the Irish.Thats still one of my favorite things to do, he said.The rivalry has grown into the best in womens college basketball, although its been a bit one-sided the past four seasons. The Huskies have won five straight, dating back to beating the Irish 83-65 in an NCAA Tournament semifinal in 2013. Before that, the Irish had won seven of eight.The difference this time around is the Huskies wont have Breanna Stewart, who led them to four consecutive national championships.They dont have a great player, McGraw said. They dont have that one player like Stewart that can just take over the entire game. I think they have balance -- probably more balance than theyve ever had. You have to guard everybody.McGraw contends the pressure is on the Huskies, who have won 82 straight.Theyve got to keep that going, with however many games theyve won in a row, McGraw said. Theyre No. 1 now, so its a little bit like it was in the past.McGraw said trying to regain the top ranking wont be a motivating factor for the Irish.I dont think were going out to prove a point in that way, McGraw said. But I think were certainly looking at it as a great test for us to see who is No. 1. Adidas NMD Belgie . PETERSBURG, Fla.

The Red River Rivalry was full of weirdness as usual, Rutgers produced one of the ugliest offensive box scores ever, Alabama and Clemson delivered impressive road wins, and Washington ended Oregon, though the Ducks will be back in the mix (and back on our playlist) if theyre sharp enough to trade in Mark Helfrich for rising star Scott Frost at seasons end.A new look poll comes out Monday, as Week 6 saw six of the APs top 17 lose. In looking to Week 7 well check in on the most rapidly improving team in the SEC, seek value with a team on a four-game losing streak whose production belies the scoreboard, tell you which overrated team its time to start fading like you mean it, plus wonder whether Houston will rebound and if the value has run out on the nations pointspread kings.ddddddddddddortfolio CheckupBuyAuburn TigersThis team is getting better and better. The kicking game is very strong, and weve always thought Gus Malzahn is an underrated special teams genius.
