Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3916557, member: 7492"] Update: 3 ACC teams- 18.75% of the Sweet 16 field. They had 8 teams or 12.5% of the overall 64 teams 2 Big 12 teams- 12.5% S16. They had 5 teams or 7.8125% of all 64 teams 4 Big Ten teams- 25% S16. The had 7 teams or 10.9375 of all 64 teams 3 PAC 12 teams- 18.75% of S16. They had 6 teams or 9.375% of all 64 teams 2 SEC teams- 12.5% S16. They had 7 or 10.9375% of all 64 teams. The P5 are 14 of the 16 teams or 87.5% of the Sweet 16 with only UConn and Missouri State as the outsiders. Overall, P5 teams comprised 33 of 64 or 51.5% of the field. They also included 15 of the 16 top seeds with only UConn involved. I know [USER=6927]@Plebe[/USER] made the comment "Grading the so-called P5" as a point that the[B] SEC really underperformed[/B] (they did with only 2 of the 6 teams seeded in the top 16 qualifying for the Sweet 16-[B][U]pathetic[/U][/B]), but overall the P5 held serve with 14 teams making the Sweet 16. This tournament still is ruled/owned/dominated by the big money schools who put more resources into their marquee women's sports than the non-P5 schools. True parity will come when more upsets occur and more non-P5 schools make in-roads into the Sweet 16 and limit the P5 from 50%+ of the field entrants. My ranking of the field would be: #1. UConn (as dominant as Baylor but with a better schedule of wins), #2. Baylor #3. Maryland (scoring, scoring and more scoring). #4. Stanford (their struggles against a good Ok State team lessened their initial dominant seeding) #5. SC #6. Iowa (their dominance from start to finish in their games was impressive). #7. NC State (they have struggled in both their games against lesser opponents) #8. Texas (looked unbelievable last night against UCLA), #9. Texas A&M (struggled against Troy, should have lost to a good ISU team but did win and have depth) #10. Arizona (winning ugly and a lack of offense could doom the Wildcats against the Longhorns) #11. Michigan #12. Oregon #13. Indiana #14. Missouri State #15. Louisville (yes, this low as they have struggled against lesser teams in both their games and lack offensive consistency) #16 Georgia Tech [/QUOTE]
