Message: [QUOTE="Iowa57, post: 4536825, member: 11931"] Barring multiple surprises, I think [B]South Carolina[/B] and [B]Indiana[/B] are locked in at 1 and 2 for the regular season. [B]Stanford [/B]and [B]Iowa [/B]are high volatility teams. Both could add significantly to their resumes or could suffer multiple defeats. If both go 3-1 to finish, they probably hold position. Any worse and they both could drop. If Iowa goes 4-0 it might be in play for a 1 seed. If Stanford goes 4-0 it might be in position to jump Indiana if it wins the Pac 12 tournament. If I were the Committee I would drop [B]LSU [/B]based on the big loss to South Carolina and its poor schedule. No idea if the Committee will agree. They probably drop a decent amount if they lose again in the regular season. [B]Utah [/B]might be in play for a 1 seed if [B]UConn[/B] or Stanford falter, but they probably need to go 4-0 in the regular season to make the jump. Not sure [B]Duke [/B]can realistically get up to a 1 seed. [B]Maryland [/B]probably can't either, but might have a good shot at a 2 seed if it wins out. Assuming [B]Michigan [/B]doesn't beat Indiana, I'm not sure either Michigan or [B]Notre Dame[/B] can jump up to a 2. Neither will add significantly to their resume before the regular season ends. For my prediction, I'll go: 1) South Carolina, 2) Indiana, 3) Stanford, 4) UConn, 5) Iowa, 6) Utah, 7) LSU, 8) Duke [/QUOTE]
