Most dominant women's NCAA program?

The two programs that come to mind are UConn and Tennessee. Which do you think is more prestigious?
Pat Summitt is the best women's basketball coach around in my opinion. She has gained so much respect around the basketball community and for good reason. Unfortunately, this year isn't going as well as expected. The Lady Vols' streak of 211 straight weeks in the top 10 ended Monday when they were ranked 11th in The Associated Press Top 25 poll. The last time they weren't in the top 10 was all the back in 1977. Can you believe that?!?! Talk about a dynasty.
The Lady Vols schedule doesn't get easier. They visit Old Dominion on Thursday before hosting Stanford on Sunday.
North Carolina, which stayed No. 2 this week, now has the longest active streak in the Top 10 with 70 consecutive weeks. It would take them nearly eight years to match the Lady Vols' run. Can you believe that? Ha. I didn't realize how big the streak was until now.
Connecticut also has such a winning legacy so its tough to say which school I would vote for.
The Uconn Huskies-a great chance to make it a NCAA double, like both the Women and Men did in '04. As long as Gino has them focused, they'll complete the March To The Arch, in St Louis, and cut down the nets for title # six.
