So let's see if I spot a trend.

On Saturday the Associated Press preseason poll is released and UConn receives 44 of the 45 first-place votes. Then on Tuesday Maya Moore received 44 of 45 votes in the Associated Press' preseason All-American team.

Now comes the hat trick as the Huskies picked up 30 of the 31 votes in the ESPN/USA Today preseason poll.

Since writers and coaches rarely view the world in the same fashion, I figured it would be interesting to see how the voting varied in the two polls.

Outside of No. 1 UConn and No. 2 Stanford, the only other similarities came with Duke slotted in at No. 8, California at No. 9, Vanderbilt at No. 12, Texas at No. 13 and Virginia at No. 15 (although Virginia was tied for 15th in the coaches' poll).

It should be noted that Xavier and Purdue, ranked 22nd and 23rd in the AP poll, failed to make the ESPN/USA Today top 25 although they were the teams with the next highest point totals. Pittsburgh and Georgia were the two teams who cracked the top 25 in the coaches' poll at No. 23 and 25 respectively. Pittsburgh fell eight points short to breaking into the top 25 in the writers' poll while Georgia ranked only 32nd in the voting in the AP poll. Outside of the difference of opinion at the bottom of the poll, there seemed to be a general consensus in the voting process as the largest jump/drop among teams who made the top 20 in both polls came with Oklahoma which checked in at No. 4 in the AP voting and No. 7 in the ESPN/USA Today balloting.
