Latest Bracketology from Charlie Creme

Seems like Mississippi St has a fairly easy bracket. Ohio St, Oregon - who they already demolished - and West Virginia.
 
I would bet that Miss St ends up in Kansas City or possibly Lexington. I"m thinking they will end up the year undefeated or have one loss and at worse be the #2 Number 1 seed. Possibly the overall #1 if UConn slips up along the way.

At the present I tend to agree. I have a feeling, though, that Oregon is only going to get better and they are far from being their best,
 
I disagree with the A-10 selection, he has Fordham, I think it will be between George Mason or Duguesne.
 
Using my composite rankings:

Albany - LexingtonKY - KC - Spokane

As do I. I am a huge Tennessee fan and I miss the uconn/tenn battles. Even non wcbb fans tuned in for those. I don’t care but there isn’t a rivalry in the game that matches the intensity that these teams brought. You can hate Tennessee or vice versa and talk as much trash as you want but you can’t argue that this was a game you marked on your calendar. I miss it!

Im in in awe of the dynasty Uconn has built and hope that Tennessee can return to those days soon! Okay that’s all the compliment you’ll get outta me! But Uconn is the now the gold standard and I’m fan enough of wcbb to realize that. Playing them ,win or lose ,will only make you better.
 
Is Louisville a No.1 seed? Some of their wins just make me scratch my head and wonder. However, other wins makes me think they are, so I'm not sure.

I think UConn and Miss St will be.

The other two no.1 seeds would be between Louisville, Notre Dame, Baylor, South Carolina, and possibly Texas.

Injuries and depth are hurting the rest of these teams.

One thing that jumped out at me is Baylor.

Although six in both polls so naturally a two seed, Sagarin has them is the number two overall team and Massey has them in the top four. However, their strength of schedule is abysmal so far which should improve in conference play.

Another item worth noting, although not a real big deal, is South Carolina. Their top four team according to AP, but Sagarin has them at 10th.

My guess is they are getting a tiny poll bump due to being defending national champions, but two seats seems about right at the moment.

Agree that Louisville will not be a one-seed.
I do think that Texas will come on strong and be a #1. Too much height and talent.
 
Texas as a three rather than a two?

They are in the top eight in:
  • Sagarin
  • Massey
  • AP
  • Coaches

The first two computer rankings don't factor in the return of Joyner Holmes. Are they getting dinged for a loss to Tennessee?
 
Ohio State is quite a surprise. Their overall ranking and seed indicated:

  • Sagarin 13 / 4
  • Massey 11 / 3
  • AP 10 / 3
  • Coaches 10 / 3

So should they be a three or a four? Creme has been as a two!
 
Baylor is good, but they are youngggggg.....1 Junior and 2 Seniors, they are getting better and better. I truly think had BU had Cox and Mulkey against UCLA would have probably ended differently. I would love for them to be a no.1 seed however, I need to seem them up against Texas with Joyner back.

Texas can't seem to find chemistry and maybe once Joyner is back in the starting line up and playing like herself we will see the Texas team we all thought they would be. They are struggling to find the consistent post play that they are used to having.

The one seeds have 16 wins against top 25 (averaging, wait for it... 4 per team.

The two seeds have six wins against top 25, three each by TN and USC(east) while none by Baylor or Ohio State.

Both Green Bay and Rutgers have more wins against top 26 teams (two each)

What had OSU done to deserve a two seed?

Quick question.... are you a Dallas Baptist University fan? or just a BU fan from Dallas?

I don't think they will either.

"When they were ranked..." Always strikes me as an odd argument. A #14 ranking does not mean the team is the 14th best team in the country. It means the voters *think* it is the 14th best team. Voters are often wrong; particularly early in the season when there is limited info.

Current ranking is what matters IMHO.

So now you get to use the OKST card since they are ranked now....how convenient. Stanford is ranked again so you can have a credit and we will take a credit. ;)
 
Marquette at the time of the game and Stanford before they fell out the Top 25 for a week. Oklahoma State is ranked now, but wasn’t at the time of the game. Next 3 road games will be against ranked teams Texas A&M, South Carolina, Notre Dame, and then a home game against Miss State.
