1. Baylor
2. Notre Dame
3. UConn
4. Iowa
5. Mississippi State
6. Louisville (with healthy Carter and Fuehring)
7. Oregon
8. Stanford
9. Oregon State
10. Miami (darkhorse)

This is not ranked by who I think are the best teams, but rather who has the best chance to cut down the net based on factors such as travel, matchups, experience, size, etc.

I think the Top 2 are most likely to win it all.

Won't be surprised if any of the next 5 get hot and win it.

Don't see anyone else capable of winning it all.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Based on who's playing the best now:

1) Notre Dame
2) Baylor
3) Stanford
4) Mississippi State
5) Iowa

I think those are the strongest teams in the nation right now, in that order. Louisville is too banged up. Oregon is weakening, and I saw a Ionescu in the Stanford game who is just not a floor general. Maryland proved it's just not Elite Eight material.

Notre Dame is getting better by the week. Stanford seems to have the best "team" in many years. It's not just a great post player and four others. They play like a team machine. Iowa appears to know how to integrate Gustafson in the offense. Baylor is as powerful as we thought/knew they'd be preseason. And Mississippi State has McGeowan. And that could be enough.

Connecticut will need to return to the form it displayed in the Notre Dame game from game three of the tournament until the end to be in the Final Four mix.

Smart. You picked all the conference winners in the Big 5 conferences. They are the hottest teams right now.

 

[IWearShoes]

And Mississippi State has McGeowan.

I must say that this is a brand new and impressively unique misspelling of McCowan.

Bravo.

6) Louisville
7) Stanford (dark horse, gotta love Tara)
No one else

I would quibble a bit with the order a bit, but this is basically correct. I would say:

1) ND
2) Baylor
3) MSU
4) Louisville
5) UConn
6) Oregon
7) Stanford

That's it. Not gonna bother with 8-10, they won't win it, and I'd even be surprised if anyone beyond those 7 makes the Final Four.

I would rather wait for the Committee pairings to come out next Monday.

Agree. Albeit, I believe there could be someone else.

Bravo.

Oops! My bad!

For the 13 voters who listed at least 6 teams:

also: NC St, Marq, UCLA, Iowa St

1st place votes: ND (10), Bay (2), UConn (1)

 

[Tonyc]

Right now UConn is playing the best BB of any other team. Defense wins and UConn and MissSt have the best defenses right now. ND would not have won last season if they didnt live at the foul line and this year that wont happen. ND's defense is not great.

UConn
Miss St
ND
Baylor
Stanford

 

[Vowelguy]

ND's defense is not great.

When you score 89+ points in 11 of your last 12 games (5 of 11 against ranked), you dont need a great D.

This is true but when you face good D you most likely will have a problem. I would like to see ND Miss St and see if ND can score 80 pts. ND does not have great ball handlers and McCowan can hold her own against ND.
