Okay, we have 2 unanimous selections. By that, I mean Stanford and South Carolina we picked as 1-seeds on all ballots. We also have thirteen “consensus” selections who were voted at least a four seed on all ballots. VaTech, SoCal and Gonzaga round out the 16. N. Dame, Utah and Louisville received votes but were not in the top 16.

LETTERL's last ballot swung the16th spot from Notre Dame to Gonzaga!

@visitingcock, great way to summarize. I'll be interested to see how this matches with the first reveal tonight.

See? Your vote CAN make a difference!

That is going to look foolish, now that I know that, if NC State can't beat Notre Dame this evening!

 

[visitingcock]

It’s kinda fun to go through these teams and see what their records are against one another. Dayum Colorado’s played a tough Super Sixteen Schedule!

 

[visitingcock]

Well, I’m not going to be home in time to watch the reveal on espn 2. If anybody’s watching, updates would be appreciated

Look at their record against the other top 15

Me either. NC State or Texas, I can see. Colorado is iffy but it is the first reveal. A lot can happen over the next few weeks.

Por2: Stan - Tex - OreSt - Ind
Alb3: ohst - NCSt - usc - lsu
Por4: col - Iowa - vt - kanst

Can I trade UConn for VA Tech?

 

[JellyBean]

Look at their record against the other top 15

It is splitting hairs. But again, they got the 4th spot. Congrats to Colorado.

 

[southie]

I had a feeling the committee would/will find a way to place Oregon State in Portland; just like they will UConn in Albany.

 

[southie]

 

[dabears17]

Colorado beat a one seed, three of their losses are to two seeds, and their fourth loss is to a three seed. Iowa’s loss to Nebraska put Colorado barely ahead of Iowa for the last one seed. Who else would you put as the 4th one seed?

 

[Vowelguy]

Look at their record against the other top 15

Their quality wins are Stanford USC LsU Utah
Bad losses: none

Oregon sts quality wins: Colorado twice and utah twice
Bad losses: none

 

[southie]

Me either. NC State or Texas, I can see. Colorado is iffy but it is the first reveal. A lot can happen over the next few weeks.

Texas' best wins are UConn, Kansas State, and Baylor. So, we are barely a Top 8 national seed overall, IMO. But, not familiar with all other teams best wins.

South Carolina top seed in women's hoops reveal

The undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks are the No. 1 overall seed in the first top-16 reveal ahead of the 2024 NCAA women's college basketball tournament, the NCAA announced Thursday night.

www.espn.com

Beginning this year, the No. 1 overall seed will be assigned to the regional pod with game days Friday and Sunday.

What the hell does this mean? I thought proximity was the primary criteria where the #1 overall seed was placed.

Colorado beat a one seed, three of their losses are to two seeds, and their fourth loss is to a three seed. Iowa’s loss to Nebraska put Colorado barely ahead of Iowa for the last one seed. Who else would you put as the 4th one seed?

Iowa or ucla easily. I would put OreSt above col too

Andraya was right that UCLA got hosed.

Because 2 regionals are in the same city , one is Fri/sun and the other is Sat/mon.
The 1 seed is now guaranteed to get the Fri/sun slot.

 

[bennyskid]

If UCLA got hosed, they'll have a chance to rectify it Friday night. If they beat OSU @ Gill, they'll pass Colorado.

 

[Vowelguy]

Also I think there’s a high probability that Syracuse ends up in Storrs. Would guarantee a local team in Albany.

UCLA plays Colorado on 2/26. The committee probably wanted to make sure Lauren Betts is fully back before taking the fact she missed a few games into account. UCLA plays a hot Oregon State team tomorrow night.

Stanford still has to play Oregon State at Oregon State the last weekend of regular season.

Then at least three of Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, and Colorado will get a loss in the PAC-12 tournament.

Thanks. So, "regional pod" means a quadrant, not the entire Regional location.
