I wish there were more slots to add - I would have liked to have put Florida State, Tennessee and Depaul on the list. I put OSU on it over Tenn due to their close losses to SCar and ND. Hard to gauge how good they are or if they are better than Tennessee, but right now I think they are...

Tenn. is dysfunctional, Depaul will shoot themselves out of a game along the way. Irish have to many injuries to their bigs. Not impressed by Oregon st., or any of the west coast teams. Maybe OSU, or Fla. ST. can work their way into big seasons , but I'm not crazy about their personnel. I still like SC, Baylor, and Texas.

The only correct answer is the survivors from the other 3 brackets.

I'm thinking S Carolina and Baylor. I'm guessing the other will be someone a little under the radar. I have no idea who though.

It's early but just based on results so far South Carolina doesn't look like a F4 team. Barely beat OSU, ASU and UCLA. Those are solid teams but ones SC should have handled much more easily.

I'm guessing that come March SC will be a strong F4 contender but I have to place them behind Baylor and ND (assuming a healthy Turner). If healthy I'd be a slightly surprised to see Baylor or ND NOT make it. Wouldn't surprise me a bit with SC.

Not surprised about Baylor. A tiny bit surprised about SC. I agree that ND without Turner is much farther away from a sure thing. I'm curious as to those who chose "other" - which team do you think will be the other FF team? I actually chose SC, Baylor and ND...

Well, those who ignore history are destined to repeat it and probably wind up in a dustbin. So I'll just look to last year for the secret sauce. At this time in 2014 the FF teams were ranked 1, 2, 3, and 15, and the #3 team won the NC. Now clearly ND is not destined to win the NC this year since the #1 team has dibs on it, but the FF is set at UConn, South Carolina, Notre Dame and Northwestern.

Baylor, USCe and Texas. Texas has been playing without Ariel Atkins. If she can return and be effective, Texas is my 4th team.

ND is resourceful and well coached. I counted them out a few years ago and vowed not to make that mistake again. I pick ND, SC, and Baylor--for now.

I'm going to assume that the "other" votes are for Florida State, Tennessee, or Depaul. I'm curious which, if any, the 8 people who voted "other" think would make the FF as of today...

Great line, Dobbs.

I think SC, Baylor, and Depaul(If they play like they did against UCONN)! Ohio State, Florida State, and Maryland are other possibilities. This year I don't see a mystery team like Dayton sneaking in.
