#7 LSU loses to #20 Alabama
#8 UNC loses to #16 Duke
#3 ND loses to #24 FSU
#11 TN loses to # 15
#1 TX barely eeks out a win over unranked MSState.

Wow. That Bracket reveal won't last long.

Let's see how Cremepuff explains away the reasons why UConn STILL doesn't deserve a 1 seed. I can assure you that SC will be put right back on that #1 line, and the ND loss will be for any reason other than their lack of team play.
ND really has 4 bad losses this year or at least losses that were surprising based on the talent of their roster. The only way SC gets a 1 seed in the end if if they win the SEC or UCLA loses twice to USC. UConn has a great chance at a 1 and really could end the season right where they started, at the 2 position. Still a lot of basketball to play and potentially a lot of excuses from CC for the teams he favors.

ND loses to Fla St # 24 @ home by 5
Texas wins by 4 against Miss St unranked
LSU loses to Alabama #20 by 3
UNC loses to Duke #16 by 15
Tenn loses to Kentucky 20+

We will see what happens with this weekends games and how the rankings change on Monday.

I would think ND drops 2-3 places
Texas stays number 1
LSU drops 2-3 places from 7th to 8 or 9th
UNC drops a couple of place and Duke moves up a couple
Tenn drops 2-3 places and Kentucky moves up the same amount

Could UConn move up to number 4 or 3 we will see

Need to look beyond the numbers a bit. UConn pre and post healthy Azzi Fudd are different teams. This one is undefeated with her healthy, playing significant minutes, with the 1 auspicious win versus a top 5 team.

Hence, on these recent results, local and otherwise, with the resources available, and with the incoming #1 overall recruit having played most of her freshman season, UConn, for me, is the clear cut #1 overall seed. Nothing to do with local bias (I'm not coach's biggest fan when it comes to in-game adjustments, and rotations) the results with, and without, speak for themselves.

This crap again? Utsby had 11 turnovers in the first matchup. Chapel Hill wasn't winning the game on Senior Night regardless. Lemme log off before i say too much.
Thanks for saying this. Ustby is a good player but it’s not like they’re without an All American go to player. The same UNC team was able to beat NC State without Ustby in the lineup. Whether she played or not, Duke deserves full credit for their 15 point win over UNC.

Are we just ignoring the Tennessee loss then?

seems uconn only had 7 Quad1 games, far less than the others -- if it had those extra games, it would be a more legit comparison, so the criterion is weighted against uconn regardless of the results, right? if so, while that criterion is OK, it should not have outsized influence.
And if UConn had gone 6-1 in those games, they'd likely be a 1 seed, possibly the first or second 1.

How would UConn get a 1 seed? The committee had us at #6 overall. The only team ahead of us who lost was Notre Dame, which in an absolute best case scenario could bump us to #5.

Persecution complex is something else.

Why add the last line?

I'll go with ... gratuitious expressive flair, commensurate with the derisive reference to “Cremepuff” :)
