It has been 15 years since Muffet McGraw and Notre Dame were No. 1 in the poll.The Irish hold the preseason top spot in The Associated Press womens basketball poll Tuesday, receiving 14 first-place votes from a 33-member national media panel. Notre Dame last held the No. 1 ranking on March 5, 2001. McGraw returns most of the core from a team that went 33-2 last season.She was happy for the compliment, but said she found the ranking a little high considering her team was coming off one of its most disappointing seasons in a few years.Id rather we earned it, McGraw said. Were coming off the worst season weve had in six years; it seems odd that were preseason No. 1.McGraw has had very good teams over the last 15 seasons that never reached the top spot. There always seemed to be someone just a little bit better.Other teams have had good teams too. Connecticut has had some pretty good teams in there, McGraw said. There was a year when yeah maybe, Stanford beat Connecticut, but then South Carolina went to No. 1.Baylor was a close second, four points behind the Irish. The Lady Bears garnered 12 first place votes.UConn, which has won 75 consecutive games and four straight national championships, was third. South Carolina and Louisville round out the top five teams.Maryland, Ohio State, Texas, UCLA and Mississippi State are next.Tennessee, which saw its run of 565 straight weeks ranked in the Top 25 end last season, is back in at No. 13. The Lady Vols have been in every one of the preseason polls except for the first one. They are one of four teams to not be ranked in the final poll, who are in the Top 25 now.National runner-up Syracuse was 14th while Final Four participants Washington and Oregon State were 17th and 25th.The SEC leads the way with six teams in the top 25. The Pac-12 and ACC each have five. UConn and 21st-ranked DePaul are the only two schools from non-Power 5 conferences to be ranked.The first regular-season poll will be Nov. 14 with two big games that night.

England are aiming to finish an unbeaten 2016 run under Eddie Jones, and will face the Pumas at Twickenham in the autumn Test series on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 2. Argentina second-row Petti believes Englands forwards are behind their dominant displays in recent fixtures, including their 58-15 win over Fiji last weekend, but the lock is hoping his sides Bajada scrum technique - which directs the force onto the opposing hooker - can bring down Jones side. Highlights of Englands Autumn International clash against Fiji at Twickenham The thermometer of this England team is the forwards winning the physicality, said Petti.When they get control there they are very strong. The key in this match is going to be this. Lots of scrums, lots of mauls. The one who dominates these things will dominate the match.The forwards of England are very good, very powerful, very strong. Its good playing teams with these strengths. We want to play against the best and England are one of the best. Brown back to face Pumas Mike Brown has been included in Eddie Jones 24-man England squad to face Argentina at Twickenham The Pumas Bajada technique has been used for more than 50 years and is based on the second rows binding around the props waists rather than between the legs, which could put added pressure on Hartley in the hooker position.dddddddddddd Yes we can do that, and maybe we have to think which scrums to fight and which ones not to, said Petti of Argentinas unorthodox scrummaging technique.We know that the scrum will be a very important area for this match. Our scrum has improved a lot in the past few matches.I think against Scotland we had a great scrum, but England is going to be more difficult. Petti (right) says Englands strength comes from their aggression Their physicality is their strength. They are very aggressive.Dylan Hartley is a great player, hes very experienced and he knows how to lead England.But this will be a big battle, and one I think both sides will relish.Petti also admitted Argentinas target of avoiding the group of death at the 2019 World Cup has taken a dent after the Pumas were beaten by Scotland. The top eight ranked teams will be sorted into two pots and can expect more favourable pools in Mays World Cup draw, with victory over England now Argentinas last chance of moving up to eighth before then. One of our objectives is to be in the top eight so our defeat to Scotland was not very good, said Petti. Sky Sports Black Friday sale Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price!
