There are a ton of very high-quality Women's basketball programs in our neck of the woods this season.

South Dakota State is out to another undefeated start in conference play, Minnesota continues to play great, and Nebraska (and Creighton) are both off to winning starts.

Despite that, all of those mentioned teams narrowly missed out on the AP Top 25 this week.

Here's the others receiving votes category, which is currently littered with area programs:

Others receiving votes: Michigan 30, Nebraska 26, Minnesota 25, Creighton 21, Baylor 12, Utah 11, Ole Miss 8, Harvard 7, South Dakota State 2

We'll just have to wait and see if and when our area programs make it in (or back in in some cases) to the Top 25 as the season creeps closer to tourney time.
