Ranking and blogs about Women’s College Basketball
Welcome back, sports fans, as we start our week with the latest WBB ranking. We had some really good games such as the surprisingly dominant upset by Mississippi St (16-7/45) over Tennessee (14-5/17) putting MSST into the bubble. Not to mention Southern Cal (13-9/49), who is without JuJu Watkins this entire season, toppling Iowa (18-4/6). …

Welcome back, college sports fans, as we take a look into how “accurate” the GCR is, or put another way, how “accurate” the human polls are. We truly do not mean to demonstrate any hubris by the second half of that sentence. Human polls have been around for decades, much longer than any computer poll, …

Welcome back, college sports fans, as we focus on the women’s game today. Last week, we talked about the new metric, RPI Factor (RPIF), which is a new predictive metric here at the old GCR. We described it in detail on Friday using the men’s data, but the same rules apply here. We now have …

Welcome back, sports fans. First, an apology. The intention was for us to post today’s FBS Championship game preview, but the LA/Chicago overtime playoff game during a snowstorm was too much fun to watch. The game is tonight, so the preview will come before kickoff. ….. But this morning, being Monday, is about Women’s Basketball. …
Welcome back, sports fans, to the first basketball conference comparison for the 2025-26 season.

Welcome back, sports fans. Apologies for the one-day delay in this post. If you have been following the GCR over the last couple of weeks, the entire staff and family (all 3 of us) were on vacation in the Caribbean. We had already planned to skip week 8 for both men and women because every …

Welcome back, sports fans. to the first of two posts today. There are three bowl games later today and we will review them, but first it is all about Women’s Basketball. Normally, this post is released on Monday, but the last games before the break were played last night giving us a pretty good halfway …
Welcome back, college sports fans! It’s been a crazy busy six weeks at the GCR with the full-time staff (i.e., G) working full time to keep up with the rankings. My friends would probably agree it is keeping me out of trouble. We also would like to wish our readers who celebrate a Happy Hanukkah! …

Welcome back sports fans. I know there has been a lot of drama around college football and the bowls. We will address that in a special G’s Exploration tomorrow. Today is all about the women in college basketball. As we approach the 1/3 mark of December, we are really closer to half-way through. There is …
