I’m not altogether convinced that UConn is really the #5 seed. Since the last reveal, Stanford has beaten two Top 16 teams. In some books, that might be enough to leap them over the mighty Huskies. For all we know, UConn could be #7 on the board depending on how the committee views the Louisville loss to Florida State.

The CSM and NCAA brackets had UCONN as the #5 team and therefore on the S-curve, facing the #4 team.

Stanford has 6 losses, and one of them is a BAD loss (eye-test) to Texas. No way they are the top 2-seed and overall #5 IMHO. Louisville DID beat Oregon, but has losses that are MUCH worse than UCONN's. tOSU (who we beat), FSU twice, and a really bad Syracuse team. Syracuse ended the season 16-15. That is just a dreadful loss. Sort of like UCONN losing to Wichita State or Temple.

I would like to see people be more objective and use reason rather than just rationalizing scenarios that work out in the favor of the teams they support. The point is that none of the rationals that are posted will have any impact on the final seedings, so why the effort to create scenarios that favor teams that we follow?

The only impact they actually have is to define the people who make thems level of objectivity.
