NCAA To Announce Preliminary Seedings Monday.

At the end of all of this, the number one seeds will likely be Louisville, Oregon, Baylor, and a fourth team that everyone will argue about.

As far as AP polling, I don't really see any team as being the number one team. I see several teams that could be the number one team on any given week, but it's fluid. AP polling is always debatable. I'd be more inclined to vote UConn and Louisville ahead of Oregon because their losses are much better than Oregon's loss. Here's the thing about Oregon. Their signature win is against MSU who has no top 10 wins. Something to think about. They haven't been tested by ND, UConn, Baylor, or Louisville. This is why I'm also still exercising caution with MSU.

This is why I'm excited to see UCONN/USC, and the MSU/USC rematch. Since the Bulldogs beat a 12-5 USC team by 15 in Starkville, they've rattled off 5 straight conference wins and are just outside the top 10. Between the previous Bulldogs/Gamecocks matchup, USC's date with UCONN, and the rematch in Columbia to end the regular season, I hope to get a barometer of where MSU stands.

Would hate to get to the end of the season and let a single loss to potentially the top team in the country, as the *only* loss of the season, knock the Bulldogs down to a 2 seed.

I might quibble about Louisville vs Baylor at #2, but pretty much agree with you completely.

The two regional final games that could happen between #3-#6 teams could be epic.

It’s unreal how parallel Baylor’s and Louisville’s resumes are. Pretty much a tossup.

As for the MSU/UConn comparison, MSU’s remaining schedule offers the potential of wins over Mizzou, A&M, LSU and SC, not to mention another 2 likely quality wins in the SEC tournament. UConn's resume is very near its ceiling, with only wins over SC and UCF in the offing. All that is to say that if both teams win out, MSU will almost certainly overtake UConn. Of course, it may not make a lick of difference if both teams end up in Albany regardless.

As I was reading Charlie's article, I was salivating over the prospect of a Baylor-Notre Dame matchup in Chicago.

I'm really fascinated to see what the committee does with NC State. Until their recent two losses, they were the presumptive #8 overall, and Charlie still has them as a #3 seed. But I believe that their losses to UNC and FSU really expose their lack of quality wins. Their resume is just so ... thin compared to other teams in contention for hosting spots, and really hangs on their neutral-court win over Michigan State.
 
Nice to see which team is missing :)

I don't see NC State lasting as a two seed.


Portland region is really really weak

Oregon, NC State, Iowa, Gonzaga? lol
Just punch in Oregon to the final four already

NC State as a #2 makes me suspect that the committee made their decision a week or two ago. There is just no way that with their current resume, with losses to UNC and FSU and only a win over Michigan St to hang their hat on, that NC State has the 8th best resume.

LMAO the difference between these two regions
 
Why wouldn’t you shift the 2 seeds? ND to Chicago, Stanford to Portland, NC State to Greensboro. Seems to fix geography and evens out the regions.

I thought that the committee doesn't like to put two teams from the top 16 in the same region. They don't like rematches. I'm not sure if that is still important or not

Because if Louisville is the #1 seed in Chicago, Notre Dame can't go there.
 
Who knows what’ll happen still got a few weeks left to see how it all sorts out
 
Portland regional is a joke. No way it plans out like that. I dont see Maryland, Iowa or NC State as viable threats come tournament time...whoever gets them as a 3 seed is getting a gift. SC/Miami as 4 seeds will be very very dangerous. Some of the better 4 seeds we've had in a while.
 
So the committee had no problem giving #1 Baylor #6 ND...in Greensboro. I guess nothing is close to home for Baylor so L'ville gets Chicago because it's closer to them than Greensboro?

Ah well, still time to throw a monkey wrench into all that...

They're most likely sending Louisville to Chicago because by the NCAA definition of "driving distance," Louisville is driving distance from Chicago. The #1 seeds get assigned first before the #2 seeds.
