Charlie will have no trouble keeping them on the three seed line. The actual committee will have trouble keeping them off the one seed line though.

Generally, I roll my eyes at “ he hate us”. It ya know what? He seems to go out of his way where y’all are concerned.Crème didn’t mention today’s dominant win over Georgetown or that Azzi was back, just mentioned Caroline appears to be injured again.
Was it something we said, Charlie?
Maybe it does “sell” clicks.

LSU's second-half collapse and loss to Tennessee in the SEC semifinals could mean a huge swing in the Tigers' seed. LSU had put itself back in position to make a run at a No. 1 seed. With an impressive win over the Lady Vols and an upset of -- or perhaps just a good, competitive performance against -- South Carolina, the Tigers could have landed on the top line. The door was open; they had gotten help from losses by Maryland, Stanford and Utah. Instead, LSU is now in danger of dropping to a 3-seed. With Ohio State playing for the Big Ten title and UConn getting Azzi Fudd back, the Buckeyes and Huskies are on the verge of catching the Tigers. The Terps and Cardinal had the depth of quality wins on the résumé to withstand early conference tournament defeats. LSU did not, making the loss to Tennessee so consequential and potentially season-changing.
No new entries to the 16, however every 2, 3, and 4 seed were relocated. Our friend CC just won't get off the Stanford train, and I guess quality wins ≠ quality wins. Imagine what his "thoughts" will be today about ... whatever.
Regardless of NET and other rankings, after watching a bunch of games over last few days, my own personal eye test says watch out for UConn, OSU, VA Tech, UCLA, Texas. Be wary of Duke & Notre Dame. If Duke can generate offense, then great, however ND without Miles is starting to show some serious cracks. I wouldn't want to be the selection committee right now, as I think there will be a few instances of mis-seeding, depending on what criteria is used to place teams.

Charlie is a BY lurker. Watch your mouths!Crème didn’t mention today’s dominant win over Georgetown or that Azzi was back, just mentioned Caroline appears to be injured again.

I put more stock in Megan Gauer’s predictions than in Charlie’s. She’s built quite a reputation for herself. I hope she can make the leap to an even bigger platform soon.
I also agree with @visitingcock about the significance of NET. It’s not the last word on anything. But it is the starting point. The committee protects itself from criticism by pointing to the one shared standard, and that’s the NET. They will have to depart from the NET for various reasons, but I suspect they’d like to have some good reasons (eg other generally accepted measures, like SoS, record in February, etc) in order to avoid accusations of favoritism.
