interesting notes from the story:

#16 Iowa State: Buoyed by a rout of then-No. 10 Texas A&M, Iowa State made the biggest jump -- five places to No. 16. It's the Cyclones highest ranking in four years.

#15 Tennessee: The last time Tennessee was ranked so low was the final ballot of the 1985-86 season. One of the 45 voters -- Jim Massie of the Columbus Dispatch -- dropped Tennessee from the Top 25, the first time the Lady Vols don't appear on every ballot since the media starting voting in 1994.

well apparently Mr. Massie inadvertently left Tennessee off his poll ballot. ooooops. that is not the team that you want to leave off, especially with Summitt just getting her 1,000 win.

from his blog. sounds like the poor guy is taking some heat for the mistake.

Kinda hard to think that he didn't look over the list and see all those "ee"s missing.
