Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 4252743, member: 6931"] There's no re-seeding of teams at any time during the tournament. So once the committee determines the overall number one and two seeds and assigns them to their regionals, they place those two regionals on opposite sides of the official bracket. That way, the top two teams, in this case South Carolina and Stanford, do not meet in the semi-finals. You'll see that Spokane and Bridgeport are both on the "right" side of the bracket, so that Stanford would meet NC/UConn in the semi-final game. By the way, if I were re-seeding the teams today based on my eye test, I'd have Stanford, then UConn, then South Carolina as my overall number one, two and three, respectively. I'm quite surprised that FiveThirtyEight still has South Carolina as such a heavy favorite to win it all. [/QUOTE]
