As a thought experiment, if Vanderbilt ran the table in the SEC, would they be the overall #1 even ahead of Connecticut? Where would
Texas Tech be ranked/seeded if they ran the table in the Big 12?

Kudos to Shea and Vandy for their season so far. Now for the but: schedule ahead too tough and teams will scheme to shutdown Blakes. TT still an unknown and likewise still has a difficult path ahead. UConn will go undefeated, handily beating ND and TN, so this thought experiment is moot.

Are these based on population density or something?

Are these based on population density or something?

Based on the geographic closeness of each county in the U.S. to each undefeated school.

Once it gets down to two schools, UConn and the other school, UConn should have the Top half of the US, including Alaska and the other school should have the bottom half of the US, including Hawaii.

IF they ran the table in the SEC, then I would say yes they would deserve the #1 overall team in the NCAA Tournament. Texas Tech would most likely be ranked #3 overall behind UConn at #2

Not on the map is UConn covering Egypt and Ecuador

I don't think UConn will pick up much territory either way. If Vandy loses Tech would get a fair bit of their terrain. Based on the way the map is divided up now, Vandy would probably take over all of Tech's territory if TT loses first. Now if UConn is the last remaining unbeaten, then they would get it all of course.

Texas Tech loosing to K-State. Then there were 2.

Undefeated Texas Tech, who’s been living on borrowed time all season, goes down today at home to 9-9 Kansas St, 65-59. That leaves the Commodores and the Huskies as the 2 remaining undefeated teams in WBB.

UConn has been there many times. I have no doubt that Geno is immensely proud of Shea and what she has accomplished at Vandy

 

[Urshurak]

Great game. Very competitive. Texas Tech had a good run, but they’re not top 10 material by any stretch.

Where's that map

 

[TheGOAT23]

Can I see the map already? 😆

KState 65, TTU 59. Both teams shot well from 3 but in watching the 4th quarter only it was a sloppy game. TTU didn't play well at home nor in a manner that you'd expect an undefeated team to perform. IMO UConn would torch TTU and TTU is not as good as Villanova.

 

[MSGRET]

So UConn has the top half of the United States, including Alaska and Vandy has the bottom half of the United States, including Hawaii.

 

[fomalhaut]

Everything Texas Tech had is closer to Nashville than to Storrs, so Vanderbilt will get the test of the map. Connecticut's piece won't change. I imagine Neptune_the_Mystic will post a new map on Reddit today or tomorrow.

So UConn has the top half of the United States, including Alaska and Vandy has the bottom half of the United States, including Hawaii.

Based on the geography math used to make the map, UConn's territory will be unchanged, and Vanderbilt will have everything else.

Great game Monday - #5 Vandy vs. #8 Michigan

So if MI takes care of Vandy then UConn tips off later Monday as the only undefeated team in WBB…against ND who’s beaten the Huskies 3 years in a row….😱

Top 10? Honestly I don’t think they are top 25 but Christa played the schedule like a fiddle with cupcakes galore and a less than difficult first part of Big 12schedule. I am not sold that this is a good team AT ALL. But I have been wrong before…

They beat Baylor in Waco, who is currently among the 3 leaders of the Big 12 (TTU and TCU are the other 2). Also beat West Virginia on the road, not the easiest place to play. I don't care how easy their OOC was, and they were hardly alone in doing that. I'm impressed they got to 19-0. This is a program that has done nothing for quite some time.
