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

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 NCAA women's basketball 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 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.

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.
 
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.

I don’t know what you mean.

There’s an Albany regional that plays Fri/Sun, and an Albany regional that plays Sat/Mon. Ditto Portland.

The 1 seed will play the Fri/sun games.
 
And Indiana is perhaps an even bigger stunner than CO.

They’ve played 3 teams in the top 16 and lost all of them, 2 in blowouts.

Who have they beaten?
Princeton is probably their best win.

So lose some blowouts to good teams and beat a 6/7/8 seed to get ranked in the top 16. Good to know.

Colorado was impressive in their win over Stanford, but it seems they've tailed off some.

I think the NCAA, with the switch to two sites on the 2nd weekend, has adopted the term "regional pod" in the way they used to use "regional", e.g.: "The committee creates a seed list of 1 through 68 — which is used to assess competitive balance of the top teams across the four regional pods of this national championship."

Here’s a fun exercise — examine the correlation between the committee 16 and the NET. Then with the AP.
I bet AP is higher.

I'm not saying SCar doesn't deserve to be the overall #1 seed, but it's striking that they've played fewer top teams than literally every other top 15 team, and in some cases a mere third as many...

I think UCLA has 5 wins: UConn, Ohio State, Colorado, USC, Oregon State.
