Too many tight wins. Holy Cross, Maine, Cornell, Rider... a top 5 MM team should have a 15-20 average margin down that stretch.

Fair but if this was the AP they like don’t care if wins are tight - win is win.
Michigan (on the men’s side.. I know but it’s a relevant example) has lost three games on the road or neutral quad two or above - by a combined 5 points - and are unranked. Behind teams with the same record with blowout losses.
The NET also doesn’t (personal opinion) consider close losses as much as they should- or close wins for that matter.
Maybe Reddit voters actually are more in tune with the teams than the AP.
That’s not a joke it’s possible that these voters are more connected especially to mid major teams than the AP is particularly on the women’s side. Dead serious- I think the Reddit rankings are more accurate than the AP sometimes
