Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3797037, member: 9403"] I was one of those who didn't rank Stanford #1 - I voted for UConn. My view is if both teams played today, UConn would narrowly win (especially without Brink and if they played like they did on Sunday vs ASU, Missy phantom fouls nonsense notwithstanding). But I tend to be bearish on my own team and also to give the edge to teams who have shown they can win when the chips are down. Same reason why I'd rank Baylor and South Carolina over NC State; unless and until the Wolfpack dazzle in the postseason, all other things equal I'll put my money on Mulkey and Staley. (Though I do not count Dawn's Mythical National Championship in my analysis.) And in general, I rank as if I were the committee - by seed line, so I don't care nearly as much about 3 vs 4 or 7 vs 8 as I do 4 vs 5, 8 vs 9, etc. The rest washes out in the end. And my #1 seeds right now are UConn, Stanford, Louisville, and Baylor. [/QUOTE]
