Bracketology - Week 14

[BRS24]

UConn moves to the #2 region. Ole Miss back in, Maryland out of the top 16.

Big Ten - 12, SEC - 10, ACC - 9, Big 12 - 7, Big East - 2, Ivy - 2, Atlantic 10 -2

UConn moves to the #2 region.

Does this mean Charlie has implicitly moved UConn to the 7-spot on the S-curve?

 

[Stagnant]

I think seeding is important. If we are the 7 or 8 overall seed. We would be stuck with South Carolina or ucla. And that makes a final four appearance unlikely imo.

 

[Centerstream]

I don't understand why USC is still a 1 seed after losing to an unranked, and possibly a non tournament team, Iowa.
Oh wait, it's Charlie's bracket.

Out of SCar, UCLA, USC or NDame I'd rather see UConn face UCLA.

USC? This is not real. Texas as a 5? It all comes down to how UConn plays the two non conference games coming up. They win they are a 1 if they don't they don't deserve to be a 1.

It's a quad 1 loss.

Who should jump them for the #1 seed?
The only resume that I can see being possibly better is Texas.

The big thing that USC has is a win over a top-10 NET team (UConn), and on the road. Texas doesnt.

Possible but not necessarily. UConn could be 6th with LSU 7th. But LSU can't be in SC's region, so LSU and UConn get swapped.
Even slightly possible for UConn to have been 5th.

 

[Stagnant]

Texas, LSU, and USC have more losses coming up. It is not a given they will remain ahead of us.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

If USC is still a #1 and TX is a #2 I'd rather see UConn a #3 in that Region 4 than a #2 in Region 2 with SoCar!

Feb 4 update from Megan Gauer at HerHoopStats:

 

[Plebe]

They'll each lose games but who will they lose to? They'd have to have some bad losses to offset the fact that their wins are better than ours.

Many top twelve [where the FF teams typically reside this time of year] head-to-head matchups still to come in the regular season, and conference tourneys. At this snapshot, Texas would be the 4th Regional #1, UConn is the #2 in the 4th Regional, and LSU the #2 in the 3rd Regional, which puts USCal the #2 in the 2nd Regional with USCarolina ["Will the real USC please stand up?!?" for a spot in the FF]

Go Huskies!!! Thrash the Orange Evil Empire!!!!

Committee ain’t putting UConn ahead of USC right now.

USC is 5-2 against Quad 1
UConn is 3-2

And USC won AT UConn

Trojans are no lower than 5th currently.
