Message: [QUOTE="SimpleDawg, post: 3036934, member: 9267"] I think Oregon has a cause for concern. Stanford is, in my opinion, the easiest #2 seed to play, and playing them avoids having to face the Big 6 (UConn, Oregon, Mississippi State, Louisville, Baylor, Notre Dame) for a final four spot. Since Oregon is in the same conference as Stanford, we know they won't get Stanford in their Portland regional. That leaves Mississippi State, Notre Dame, Baylor, Louisville, Marquette, and NcState as possible #2 seeds in Portland. This is all contingent upon Stanford being able to hold on as a #2. I know people are gonna say "NcState is the easiest #2 seed, not Stanford." That's true, but they have Louisville and Notre Dame coming up. They could be awaiting a slaughterhouse and drop out of the #2 line. Or if they manage to win just one of those games, they may be able to earn a #2 seed. But that in turn will shake up the ACC, and those seeds will be rearranged once again. So odds of this reveal staying the way it is at the top is unlikely. Just food for thought. We know that if Mississippi State, Baylor, Notre Dame, UConn, and Louisville gets a #1 seed, they may catch a break by getting Stanford as #2. But Oregon doesn't have that luxury, so they have one less of a side of the dice. ... [/QUOTE]
