Women's NCAA seedings

[KuwaitHawk]

No doubt Iowa gets a #1 along with S Car, SoCal and Texas or Stanford. I can see the committee setting it up so that SCar and lsu will be on opposite side of the bracket, Iowa and OSU will be on opposite sides as will SoCal and Stanford so that if the Top 2 teams form the B1G, sec and Pac12 make it to the Final Four they would meet in the final game IF they win their semifinal game. At a minimum the two sec schools will get this benefit.

From everything I've seen Iowa should get the number 2 overall seed, but we really just need them to get the 2nd or 3rd 1 seed. Really, the other 3 one seeds are pretty much a toss-up so they might just go with potential matchups at that point.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

I see only 1 #1 seed a toss up. Iowa is the second #1 seed, SCar is a lock as locks can get. SoCal is almost a lock and the 4th one is either Texas or Stanford.

Just over 32 hours until brackets come out. Still think Iowa gets the second #1 seed and won’t have to play SCar until championship game.

Why do the women wait so long to announce the bracket? Shouldn’t they separate themselves from the men selection show?

Someone explain why USC gets a #1 seed when Texas has a better record and in a tougher conference?

There are a few championship tourneys being played today and Kent State won so they will make the tournament. I was wondering earlier why in the heck they couldn't play those yesterday and then have the women's bracket this evening.

The Seeding Committee wants Caitlyn in the tourney as long as possible. I suspect our early round opponents will be set to keep iowa alive. Yes she has that much impact on the sport.

You do realize that the selection committee is made up of college administrators from around the country?

Beth will not be in the room when they are discussing and seeding Iowa.

How exactly is how far Iowa advances going to benefit the rest of the people on the selection committee? New TV deal has already been signed...so no dollars at stake in that regards.

Ya think the AD from Tennesse Martin gets some sort of bonus based on Iowa's results?

You all love to throw non sense out there.

So by your theory Iowa would have not been the 5th overall seed last year since they had the biggest star and it was really close on who got the #1 seeds.

Pac12 really the better league this year. Top 6 teams all in the Top 20.
