Message: [QUOTE="ASweet3781, post: 2083611, member: 1926"] I'd be really surprised if Stanford is not the 2 seed in Stockton. One of the things they need to take into account is attendance and Stanford is right down the road from Stockton. I don't think you can count on either South Carolina, Baylor, or ND to bring the fans there as the 1 seed. And Oregon State while having solid fan support is a pretty good distance away. If they were smart: Bridgeport: 1. UConn 2. Oregon State 3. Duke 4. NC State or Miami UConn alone maximizes attendance here. Lexington: 1. Notre Dame 2. Mississippi State 3. Florida State 4. Kentucky Kentucky if they make the Sweet 16 maximizes attendance. ND is within traveling distance. Mississippi State is in SEC country. Oklahoma City: 1. South Carolina 2. Maryland 3. Washington 4. Louisville (5. Oklahoma) Tough region for attendance. S Carolina fans seem to travel well and you can always hope Oklahoma upsets Louisville. Committee also needs to take into account getting the best Final Four matchups to avoid last years anti climatic feel after 3 of the top seeds went down. If S Carolina chokes again you'd have high powered offense of Maryland and Kelsey Plum to take advantage. Stockton: 1. Baylor 2. Stanford 3. Texas 4. UCLA Having Stanford here maximizes attendance. UCLA stays in state too. And you double the chance for one of the Texas schools to get a home state team to the Final Four in Dallas which seeing a couple Final Fours haven't even sold out recently should be on the minds of the committee.
