I am aware that some of the awards are political but the coach of the year for the womens completely shocked me. I am confused why if you look at the rankings from January 3rd to May 2nd. (every individual ranking got significally worse) and the team only went up one spot. There is the coaching? The team did not even win the SEC or make any improvements from last year, or even win the SEC West.

January 3rd
Team #10
McFarlane #12
Guarchi #13
Jensen # 59
Maynetto # 105
McFarlane/Guarchi #2

May 2nd
Team #9
McFarlane #34
Guarchi #36
Jensen # 118
Maynetto Unranked
McFarlane/Guarchi #7
