Ha wow you really are Colorado-centric.
If we are talking NCAA seedings, which seems to be the point of this thread, then AP voters are irrelevant. The committee, on the other hand, will definitely notice -- I believe I read that they also watch all matches between prospective top 16 teams. That said, I've felt all along that we are a low 2 seed at best and more probably a 3 seed. (And I could see us dropping to a 4 seed with a loss tomorrow and a QF loss in the PAC-12.)
I never count out a Tara coached team but the Pac12 is certainly heavy with solid competition. Stanford has dealt with some injuries this year as well. I think three seed is as low as they go unless they end on a four game losing streak and a 2 seed is more likely. Be interesting this year as with 4 likely top 16 teams the Pac12 will be dispersed around the country.
Enjoy, I was extremely impressed with them, on one of their runs I thought it was curtains for us. My wife hasn't been making the games and I texted her "and the deluge begins". They are good from 3 point land, and Williams was just highly impressive in a relatively quiet sort of way.
or the #5 overall which makes them the top #2 and plays against the #4 or bottom #1. If the S curve holds
They through the S Curve out in favor of geography. A few years back. They do try to "balance the bracket" which is, of course, subject to interpretation. But you cannot predict match-ups based on the S-Curve, because on each line, the highest ranked team is "supposed" to be sent to the closest geographic location, and on through the other 3 teams on that line. In general, I don't like it, but I do get it.
Shows how useless these rankings are. For a chuckle check out Brink at #3 and Edwards at #26. Edwards would chew her up.
Agree with everything you said
What makes you so certain of this?
Maryland will lose again. I see them losing in their conference tournament.
I would be perfectly happy if the Huskies were a #1 or #2 seed in Ft Wayne. I’m looking for MD and/or Louisville losing in their conference tournaments to clear the way for UConn to book a trip to scenic Ft Wayne, IN.
I wonder how much better Arizona is than DePaul? Could make an argument here as far as UCONNs positioning, understanding of course the PAC12 competition as opposed to that of the Big East...Stanford is ranked 4th, Louisville is 5th. UConn is 6th. #13 Arizona is much better than any team UConn will play in the AAC. Plus the game went into overtime, and Stanford only lost by 1 point, 73-72 on the road. It would be different if Arizona was not ranked, and blew the Cardinal out. I'd leave UConn at 6. But I'm not on the committee.
The most I would do is maybe switch Stanford and Louisville. We all know Stanford is facing much better competition nightly than UConn is. UConn is a very long shot to get a #1 seed. Stanford and LV would both have to lose another game to an unranked team for UConn to have even a remote long shot at a #1 seed. Don't count on it. I agree with Charlie Creme that SC, Baylor, Oregon and possibly Maryland look like #1 seeds.
While UConn, Louisville, Stanford and NC State probably get #2 seeds, although Creme currently has Northwestern as a 2 seed in the Portland Region.

I like Notre Dame's chances
I have moved Charlie Creme out of my consciousness, and am much happier for it. Looking forward to the next committee reveal Monday.
Charlie Creme is a stooge!
Duke of course
Duke or ND.
Sure I got some coins rolling around my carIf that happens.... you gonna help bail me outta jail?
