These preseason polls rely too much on last year without taking into account the changes on some of these teams. I won't say Maryland is too high, but it will be interesting to see how the loss of Cummings plays out. She is not going to be easy to replace.

Teams ranked too high:

Stony Brook (Should be 8-10)
Syracuse (might drop out of top 10)
Stanford (drops out of top 20)

Teams ranked too low:

Northwestern
USC (Final 4 team)
Colorado makes it into the top 20 for first time
