Poll Which #1 Seed Least Likely to Make F4

ND is a loaded team with a good coach. They will take their best squad in five years to the Final Four. From 2013, without UCONN, they would have won three championships and touting Muffet as the best-ever women's coach. (In South Bend, they like to speak in superlatives). With the Huskies in the mix, the Irish have acquired an iconic hold on second place. But they will again be fighting for the championship the last weekend.

I think ND is a weapon too. There was a thread created before and somehow bashing Muffett's abilities. I thought it was way off-base. I do question her class (i.e. classlessness) at times. I know others question that of Geno. But just saying she went off the deep-end a few years ago and she was the one that brought up class at the moment she went loony and still seems bitter to this day. But her teams-- - they are certainly very, very tough.

I think Baylor would have the easiest region if not for AJones injury. I think Baylor's success will come down to the health of AJones. If she is healthy I think USC has the toughest region. If she is not healthy enough, I think they are most likely to get picked off. Otherwise USC.

I picked SC based what I have seen, but as always, I am usually wrong!!!

How does that work---always--usually wrong?? I'm hardly ever right --but never wrong.

Geno has for years said----if you have been there before --your chances of winning it all are greater--so that gives Baylor, Nd, UConn apparently the best chance to be in the final game. Although ---it's been a while for everyone not ND or UConn .

Still think the Creme version has UConn with the toughest draw. Would much rather have a grouping of DePaul, Kentucky, Washington (despite Plum, the team is very vulnerable), and Maryland.

Stanford is tough, especially in the tournament. Duke is tough. Miami has pulled upsets, and Duke is not to be trifled with.

How many times has Stanford made the Final Four since 2000. I think you and others might be really surprised. They've very often underperformed in the NCAA tournament and weren't they the first number one seed to lose in the first round some years ago. They've surprised a few times but they have been surprised more often, themselves.

Wow Buzzy, you really set yourself up. Stanford made the Final 4 six out of seven seasons starting in 2008. Other than UConn and Notre Dame, nobody else in the country is remotely close to that level of success since 2000.
