6. NC State Wolfpack
Previous ranking: 7

Last season the Wolfpack, led by five seniors, could have gone on a long NCAA tournament run. Like everyone else, they were denied that chance but did have a March celebration with the program's first ACC tournament title since 1991. NC State has to make up for some loss of leadership. But the team has lots of talent back, led by junior center Elissa Cunane, a national player of the year candidate, seniors Kayla Jones and Kai Crutchfield and sophomores Jada Boyd and Jakia Brown-Turner. -- Voepel

No. 4 for the 3rd week in a row!

Most consecutive weeks in the AP Top 5 since seven polls in a row during the 1999-2000 campaign.

NC State Jumps to No. 3 in AP Poll
Wolfpack achieves highest AP ranking since 1999-2000 campaign
Story Links
RALEIGH After spending the last three weeks as the nation's fourth-ranked team, NC State women's basketball moved up to third in the Associated Press Top-25 Poll.

Monday's placement marks the program's best ranking since Jan. 10, 2000 when the Wolfpack was listed third to cap off six-straight weeks spent in the national top five. NC State has now spent the last four weeks in the AP Top 5, which marks its longest streak since that 1999-2000 campaign.

After starting the season at No. 8, the team moved into the top five with a big road win at then-No. 1 South Carolina. The Wolfpack has remained perfect since then and is off to an 8-0 start to the season and a 3-0 clip in league action for the third year in a row.

NC State is set to return to action on New Year's Eve as it travels to Atlanta to take on Georgia Tech. Tip-off from the McCamish Pavilion is scheduled for 7 p.m., and the game will be televised on the ACC's Regional Sports Networks.

Mild surprises: Baylor as a No. 3 seed, NC State as a No. 2

NC State has been projected as a No. 1 seed in women's Bracketology for all but one week this calendar year. Baylor has been a No. 2 seed during that entire span. In Monday's reveal, NC State was No. 6 overall (No. 2 seed) and Baylor was No. 10 overall (No. 3 seed).

Neither of those spots are egregious, but they are surprising.

NC State's rsum might be the hardest to evaluate. Like Baylor, the Wolfpack have lost two games. One, however, was without their best player, Elissa Cunane. They also have wins over two of the committee's No. 1 seeds -- South Carolina and Louisville. That would usually indicate a No. 1 seed would be in the cards for the Wolfpack, as well. Instead, the committee had UConn, South Carolina, Stanford, Louisville and Texas A&M ahead of them.

"Baylor's strength of schedule [rated 96th] and two losses, one outside the NET top 25 (Iowa State), were probably the biggest factors in their placement," NCAA selection committee chairwoman Nina King said. "NC State's losses were above the NET top 25, as well."

Losses -- both in quantity and quality -- were a big factor in how both teams were placed. The exception -- and there are always some since 14 different criteria are considered in the selection process -- is Stanford. The Cardinal also have two losses, one of which came outside the NET top 50 (Colorado), but Stanford was still a No. 1 seed. This is an instance in which the NET might have helped a team. Stanford is No. 1 in the NET, which weights road games more heavily than home games. The well-traveled Cardinal -- displaced for nine weeks due to COVID-19 protocols in Santa Clara County -- have played 13 road games this season.

Why each women's college basketball team in the NCAA's top 16 could win the 2021 NCAA title

6. NC State: In the Wolfpack's victories over South Carolina and Louisville, a trip to the Final Four looked like a real possibility for NC State. Their overtime loss to Virginia Tech could be explained in part by the absence of center Elissa Cunane, who was still in COVID-19 protocol. The subsequent loss to North Carolina was one of the rare times a Wes Moore-coached team seemed out-worked. The Wolfpack's biggest strengths are defense, led by wing Jakia Brown-Turner (14.2 PPG), guard play, led by Kayla Jones, and inside presence, as Cunane (15.6 PPG) is one of college game's top pure centers.
