Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4185854, member: 6927"] Your predictions may or may not be borne out, but it'll be based on a team-by-team analysis. Slots aren't allotted to conferences in the way that FIFA allots World Cup bids to the continental federations. There is absolutely zero evidence that the committee ever thinks along these lines. We already know that the committee had Baylor #13 as of Jan. 27, so hardly a stretch to predict a 4 seed for them. Tennessee is unlikely to drop as low as a 3 seed unless they lose multiple games to lesser teams (not SC or even UConn). But certainly, a lot can happen in the next five weeks. One more thing: the conference standings do not necessarily reflect how the committee will rank conference foes relative to each other. Notice how Texas, despite not leading in the Big 12 standings, was ranked by the committee higher than any other Big 12 team, and that's largely because of their very strong nonconference win at Stanford.
