I agree, but you think the #1 overall seed should be the region that gets the most Top 25 in it?

Let's see the rest of the brackets. Really does not look like a murders row to me. Rankings in polls mean zip at this point. Are you even slightly worried about either Georgia or Duke? I can't see either of them staying within 20 of UConn, and that's probably being generous.

So South Carolina is the lowest 2???

I realize the women's tourney always does wacky things but #1 should match up with the worst 2nd seed. So a team from the "toughest" conference, which BTW they have won FOUR years in a row is the worst #2 ???
 
How do you place the team with the best attendance in an already sold out Regional? Not sure what SC has done to the NCAA but it is clear they don't like us, especially after send us west the past 3 years and now placing us agaisnt the #1 team.

Yes, they get the most, by one -- #1 overall seed should have the #8 team as 2 seed, #9 team as 3 seed, #16 team as 4 seed, #17 as 5 seed, #24 as 6 seed, #25 as 7 seed. 7 ranked teams; the other regions have 6 each. But we have the bottom two of the top 25, so that evens it out.
 
I wonder how they will split matchup Baylor and Texas vs Miss State and Louisville.
 
Most projections I saw had Oregon St. going to Athens, GA or Columbus, OH for the opening rounds. Didn't land in either location. So where are they going?

Not too far off -- the last AP poll as South Carolina as #7, or the 2nd worst of the 2 seeds.
 
I don't know who is worse.

All I know is we beat South Carolina by 25 and Texas by 2. Those were only the 2 options for Albany.
 
Looking at power rankings

Massey has #1, #8 SC, #10 FSU, #15 Ga, #23 Duke, #19 USF, #28 Cal, #36 Miami, #48 Quinn, #39 UVa, #42 Buffalo

Ohio State vs Oregon? Both may score in the 100s.

If it comes to pass, I would expect Oregon vs. Notre Dame to be high scoring as well.

Some ND folks were hoping for a 2-seed opposite Miss St. Personally, I wanted the #1 in Spokane opposite Oregon because I think that would be an extremely entertaining game.

I think Muffet is going to have some sleepless nights trying to figure out how to defend Oregon's offense.

#1 overall seed in the tournament has 7 teams ranked #23 or higher. You think that is a reward?

One bracket should get 7 ranked teams as 4 regions x 6 ranked teams = 24 so a 7th ranked team must get assigned somewhere.

Attendance does not matter.
 
Stanford vs. Gonzaga have met quite a few times over the years. GU beat them in Maples Pavilion last season.

Not questioning the #2 seed. We have 7 top 25 teams in our bracket! 7

There are 25 top 25 teams, 4 brackets - three brackets get 6 each, one gets 7, in particular the bottom 7 (24 & 25). Seems fair to me.
