So when the show ended......

[LoboDays]

.......We have people saying that UCONN, Stanford, or NC State is the #1 overall seed. I should have watched instead of Seinfeld.

It's Stanford.

Nice thread

Nice thread

Drunk on the success of the "root canal" thread.

Oh that Explains alot

Yeah....I gotta stop.

Well, if it is Stanford, that means 1. Stanford, 2. UConn 3. NC State 4. SC 5. Maryland 6. Texas A&M 7. Baylor 8. Louisville 9. Georgia 10. Tennessee 11. Arizona 12. UCLA 13. West Virginia 14. Indiana 15. Kentucky 16. Arkansas.

Nice thread

Always. No filter.

 

[cbraarj]

NCSt the 4, SC the 3, Stanford the 2 and Connecticut the 1

Bear in mind that what you have taken to be the S-curve may really be a modified S-curve that accounts for keeping conference rivals separated. For instance, my hunch would be that on a strict S-curve, Baylor would rank above Texas A&M (i.e., Baylor would be overall #6 and TAMU would be #7), but the committee wanted to avoid having two SEC rivals face each other in the Elite 8.

No, the order is Stanford, UConn, NC State, South Carolina. You can tell by looking at the full bracket based on Stanford being shown in the upper left, and facing the Gamecocks in the National Semifinal. Also, there have been subsequent confirmations that Stanford is indeed the overall #1.

Assuming the UConn emerges from its bracket, it will probably face either NC State or TAMU in the FInal Four, while Stanford probably would face either South Carolina or Maryland. I think UConn gets the easier side of that semifinal matchup.

 

[cbraarj]

Haven't seen the brackets and didn't watch the whole show. Stopped after they announced High Point was playing them.

 

[LoboDays]

This is pretty incredible. ESPN is airing the tourney and they put on a selection show that still has people debating who the #1 overall seed is. Terrible job.

Pretty sure TAMU is 5 and MD 6, but couldn't have SC-TAMU regional final.
Hard to determine exact spots for 3 seeds. Could be 9 Ga, 10 Az, 11 UCLA 12 TN

Not debating. Confirmed that Stan is #1.

Stanford, UConn, NC St., SC lead women's field

Stanford was awarded the No. 1 overall seed in the women's NCAA tournament, and was joined by top seeds UConn, South Carolina and first-time 1-seed North Carolina State.

You could have also had to move Arizona or UCLA out of the #9 position to avoid Stanford. Unlucky for one of them to not be in the same region as Louisville, while Oregon gets a pretty good bracket.

No one is debating it. It was cleared up shortly after the show ended.

 

[MilfordHusky]

But it should have been clear ON the show. Not after it.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Stuff happens. ESPN should have just followed the normal logical sequence to avoid confusion, not sure why they decided to mix it up this year.

They probably wanted to announce UConn's bracket last in order to keep fans watching.

All year you have been hearing the NCAA will be following the S curve. As soon as there is a arbitrary, but, thrown in the S curve statement becomes gibberish.

 

[BostonBay]

UConn was the final #1 in the AP poll.

 

[LoboDays]

Apparently, the buffoonery isn’t going to end anytime soon.

 

[mhshuskies]

UConn was the final #1 in the AP poll.

Can we hang a banner on that?

 

[FairView]

Can we hang a banner on that?

Only if you're south of the Mason-Dixon line.
