Message: [QUOTE="SimpleDawg, post: 3434515, member: 9267"] UConn is out of the question. Last year they had that win over Notre Dame, and beyond that - pretty much an identiical resume to this year except one less loss and still got a #2 seed. This year, they'll either be a 2 seed or a 3 seed depending on how the other teams do. I think it's between Maryland, Stanford, UCLA, Mississippi State, Louisville, NcState, and (dark horse) Iowa. Louisville and NcState's remaining schedule looks... not bad. Both favored to win all their remaining games except for potentially 2 more matches with each other. If they split the series, then... I dunno how they distinguish the 2 teams. Maryland has been treated well this year by the committee and they're also favored for all their remaining games 'cept Iowa - and if Iowa wins, they might have the edge in the Big 10 race. So that's why I think Iowa still has a chance for #1. And Fort Wayne is not *too* far from Iowa City, so there's another reason. UCLA and Stanford has some tough competition remaining. If UCLA beats Oregon I think they'll probably look like they deserve that last spot and they already have that win over Stanford. (and don't necessarily have to play them again) Same for Stanford except a way tougher schedule. No way they're getting out of those last games without a loss. But that win over Mississippi State is looking great right now with them rising in the polls. Missisisippi State's good thing is that they still have ranked opponents left..... like Arkansas, Kentucky and possibly those 2 again in the tournament plus the other ranked teams they just beat. Most people think they'll take care of all of those and lose to South Carolina in the final game. However, if they beat South Carolina..... it's really possible they could bee #1 depending on what the ACC, Big 10, and Pac 12 (besides Oregon) does. [/QUOTE]
