To get a #1 seed, UConn will have to...

I think we are too far out to make more than a generalization about UConn's seeding after these games. The way I see it, if UConn wins both, the 1 seed is guaranteed. If they split, they are at worst the top 2 seed, and likely a 1 seed. If they lose both, then the best case scenario is probably the last 2 seed. I think they are better than that, but you have to win games to prove it.

They’ll lose to Oregon next week (just being realistic). So they will have to beat South Carolina

Realistically Uconn has 1 lost since March 2013 at home! With Ania and Aubrey playing at this level the Huskies are a different team! As far as South Carolina is concerned Uconn has a couple of advantages. No. 1 Dawns team tends to be too Cocky!!! No.2 Uconn has Geno as their coach and SC only has Dawn. Before anybody says anything look at Wilsons last year. The 2 games they played each other Staley didn't call time out in either game until right before the half when they were down by about 30! SC has never beaten Uconn and that first victory is hard to get and the same with Oregon!

If UConn loses to both SC and Oregon, their 3 losses conceivably could be to the #'s 1,2 & 3 teams at regular season's end. Could UConn be considered the #4 team in the country in that scenario? IMO only Louisville or NC State could pass them. UCLA & Stanford would get beat up in conference play to keep them behind UConn. So, yes UConn could be a 1 seed with 3 losses.

That sounds nice but it doesn't really work that way. In 2014-15 Princeton went undefeated in the regular season. So "in theory" they could've been the #1 team in the country, right? Yet they were given an 8 seed. The committee looks at how good the teams are that you've beaten.

Seems like a lot of people here are talking out of their you know whats. Remember last year when UCONN was a 2 seed and people thought they would be a 1. Lets just wait and see what happens and play out what we are given. In order to make the final four we will have to beat some really good teams...
