I THINK SCar will be a 1 seed. I don't see the committee awarding a one seed to two SEC teams. Thus, I think A&M will be a two seed. I think NC State will be a 1-seed.
Based on eye test I would dispute that. Marquette, DePaul, Seton Hall and maybe Nova would probably be competitive. Who knows really how good or mediocre the PAC 10 really is?
Not relevant to seedings.
Not surprised at all! As Centerstream says, Creme works for ESPN, which is not exactly a bastion of neutrality! They believe in “shaping” the news in order to get the outcome they want. They are already working on having South Carolina (their preferred team) as a number one seed over NC State! In the end though, it will make the coming UConn dominance that much sweeter. Let’s just hope that dominance starts this year rather than next. I’d just like to see the faces at ESPN if we can somehow win it this year! That would be priceless.
I’m not sure why SC is given a #1 seed over Texas A&M and NC State when both those teams beat them and have better records?
Yes ESPN hates UConn. Lobo especially.
We all appreciate your passion, and UCONN's win was overwhelming. However, the Big East ( women ) is not as tough as the Pac-12, and Villanova is not the equivalent of UCLA. This year, no one saw Stanford play unless you were on the PAC-12 TV network ( I was not ). But Stanford has had great recruiting classes for several seasons, and they are a legit number one selection. To my mind, it doesn't really matter who is the "number one" number one. Stanford, UCONN and South Carolina are no brainers. Is the 4th to be NC State? In my view, it is highly likely that UCONN v Stanford will be the Big Dance final. We'll know then.Charlie Creme now claims that Stanford is the top seed for the tourney due to their defeat of UCLA. How's that? Did he not have a Fox channel with which to view UConn's dismantling of Villanova?
Something smells here....
Women's Bracketology: No. 1 seeds survive opening day, but make way for Michigan
The Big Ten is flexing one day into the season. The conference has two 1-seeds and matches the SEC's 11 teams as Michigan jumps into the field.www.espn.com
I agree! But SC was a #1 seed in last week's bracketology & since then, they won the SEC tournament. So they are probably locked in as a #1 seed.
I have to disagree. Arizona, I believe, would have a hard time with Marquette or DePaul (the pre slump DePaul). Az is my hometown team and has made amazing progress under Aria Barnes, but let’s face it, their shooting is just awful, they rely way too much on a 5’6”
Since then they also lost to Texas a&m.
So teams that play difficult schedules should be penalized and be discouraged from playing good out of conference opponents.
I don't think it's really going to matter much at all this year whether you're ranked #1 or #2 , with the S-curve method of pairing , if it's used. Eventually the 2 will have to meet for the NCAA Championship. Bragging rites about who is #1 coming in is one thing , winning The Trophy is something else. And that's what these Huskies really want, to win that Trophy.Charlie Creme now claims that Stanford is the top seed for the tourney due to their defeat of UCLA. How's that?

True. But as soon as they lost, Charlie Creme predicted that SC would stay as a #1 by the committee as long as they won the SEC tournament. I also disagree with their about their logic, but Creme has his finger on the committtee pulse. He wound up being correct.
There has not been a committee reveal since TAMU beat SC so Creme did not wind up correct. It is unknown.
Bucknell #2, Cal Baptist is the clear #1 team.
