Big Ten Bracketology: Projected NCAA Tournament Seeds, Women's Tourney
I’m generally cool with Northwestern hanging onto that 6-seed, and with the upset of Michigan they shouldn’t fall to a 7—no idea on if UCLA is good as the 3-seed in their region, but staying away from the 1s and 2s for as long as possible is a good way to see a Sweet 16. See above for Michigan. I’m sure falling from 5 to 6 isn’t ideal, but the only functional difference appears to be an average P5 school instead of a mid-major champion. To be honest, I’d take the P5 grab-bag over whatever weirdness you’ll get from, say, a South Dakota or a Stephen F. Austin.
