Is this Marquette women's team good?  I saw that they beat a ranked Big Ten team (Illinois) and boatraced another high major (Arkansas) while remaining undefeated.  That seems like a good start, but I can't find the kind of computer rankings that I use to compare mens teams.

Their non-conference schedule is pretty weak so I'm not ready yet to say they're good.  Illinois is the best team they've played so far and they were missing their best player for that game.  And Illinois fell out of the rankings after that loss.  The women's NET rankings won't start until early December.  RealTimeRPI.com has Marquette with an RPI of 45 and an SOS of 172.  Their non-conference schedule has 6 teams with RPI's over 200.  I will say I'm not sure how accurate an indicator the RealTimeRPI is since they are using the NET now but was looking for some season numbers at this point in the season.

Arkansas had to rally to beat Wisconsin who hasn't had a winning record in over 10 years and Arkansas hasn't played a super strong schedule so far either so I'm not sure how good a win that is at this point either.  But beating an SEC team is likely good for MU.  Boston College lost to UW in the 3rd place game.  UW does have a strong RPI for now at 13.

Maybe once again I have no idea what I’m taking about 😂.  MU enters the AP poll at 23 this week.  They are the last remaining BE team with no losses in non-conference play.

Roughly speaking, the program has been at a similar level for about 7 seasons over 2 coaches. We’ll see.
