Message: [QUOTE="southofnorth, post: 3429254, member: 9132"] Their wins agains Tenn and DePaul are good and their only losses are to #1 (projected) seeds. Typically I wouldn’t say this is #2 seed worthy, but with the parity in WCBB this year (if you’d like to call it “parity”) I don’t see many teams that have better resumes thus far. Louisville? Lost to Florida State and Ohio State and beat Oregon ~ equal. NC State? Lost to UNC and beat Florida State and Maryland. Stanford beat Oregon State, Mississippi State, and Tennessee. Lost to Texas and Oregon. Of every team I’m listing, they have to most potential to jump over UConn in overall ranking due to their remaining schedule and the potential to beat Oregon, Oregon State, and UCLA. Maryland has losses to Northwestern and Iowa (bad) but close losses to NC State and South Carolina (good). They’ve beaten Michigan (2x) and Indiana (2x) which are quality wins. #3 seeds that might move up? Oregon State? Lost to ASU, Stanford, and Oregon twice with their best wins being DePaul and Arizona. Unless they beat Stanford, Arizona, and UCLA in their next matchups with each they likely won’t move up. Mississippi State has losses to West Virginia, Stanford, and South Carolina (only by 2), and unless both Chennedy Carter (Texas A&M) and Rhyne Howard (Kentucky) are back for those respective matchups, Mississippi would have to beat South Carolina in the SEC tournament to make a significant leap. UCLA has games against Oregon, Oregon State, and Stanford (plus the pac12 tournament) so they would leap frog any #2 team if they win those games and have a significant showing in the pac12 tournament. However, their losses to USC and Arizona are worse than either of UConn’s losses. Gonzaga is the last current #3 seed and they really can’t move up unless any of the teams ahead of them give them some significant help (because of the teams they play in their conference and their lack of a signature win [Missouri State being their signature win as of right now]).
