New AP Poll

[oldude]

From what I’ve seen, there has only been one top team that hasn’t looked vulnerable so far this season, and that is Stanford. You might argue that UConn hasn’t looked vulnerable, except for the fact that the Huskies have yet to face a top team. Hopefully, after the Baylor game UConn will join Stanford as a team playing at a consistently superior level.

Yes, the Baylor game is big right now but looking forward, so many things will probably change. UConn, if their development continues will rise to final 4 material & hopefully a NC. Let's hope!

Well, I thought with the whole Tournament being in San Antonio, straight seeding (1-64) by the committee (NET?) would occur:
1-8-9-16 would be Stanford/TAM/UCLA/tOSU (Elite 8 game is Stan-UCLA)
2-7-10-15 is Lou/Ariz/Ky/Mich
3-6-11-14 is UConn/Baylor/Oregon/MSU
4-5-12-13 NC St/SC/Maryland/Arkansas

No, because of the various rules about keeping conference opponents apart (see my previous post).

Also, the NET ratings are (like the RPI before it), are just another piece of information used by the committee in seeding. It is not the be-all end-all.

Just replace Ohio State with Texas as OSU is postseason ineligible -- but yeah. I'm fine with putting South Carolina in UConn's bracket.

For comparison, if we used NET:

1. Stanford / 9. Louisville / 10. Maryland / 17. Texas A&M
2. UConn / 8. Kentucky / 11. UCLA / 16. Georgia
3. Baylor / 7. NC State / 12. Michigan / 15. Arkansas
4. Oregon / 5. South Carolina / 13. Rutgers / 15. Indiana

1		Stanford	Pac-12	-	7-0	0-0	2-0	0-0
2		UConn	Big East	-	2-0	0-0	4-0	0-0
3		Baylor	Big 12	-	3-1	0-0	5-0	0-0
4		Oregon	Pac-12	-	4-0	0-0	4-1	0-0

7		NC State	ACC	-	3-0	0-0	7-0	0-0
8		Kentucky	SEC	-	2-1	0-0	7-0	0-0
9		Louisville	ACC	-	2-0	1-0	4-0	0-0

15		Arkansas	SEC	-	3-1	1-1	6-0	0-0

17		Texas A&M	SEC	-	4-0	0-0	6-0	0-0
18		South Fla.	AAC	-	3-0	0-0	4-1	0-0

I much prefer UCONN @ #2. Now if Oregon can knock off Stanford, it will get interesting again...
