Louisville Women are The Sixth Seed
- Thread starter HiStepper
- Start date
Yes. We start Thursday with a bye. Play the winner of Clemson vs Stanford. We win we get Duke and if we were to beat Duke will get ND
Someone please explain why UL is 6th, as that is what ESPN’s regular season standings show this morning? UNC, UL and FSU each tied with conference records at 13-5. UL defeated FSU in their head to head matchup, FSU defeated UNC, and UNC defeated UL; so all three are 1-1 in that 3 way face off. be ahead of FSU.
It appears that UL “got the short end of the seeding process”, when examining all of the numerical available data that is published. NCST and ND tied with 16-2 conference records, but NCST gets #1 as a result of having defeated ND, despite all of the other numerical data favors ND. So what was used to determine that UNC and FSU each are above UL?
This leads me to the AP rankings, as I have yet to see any published Strength of Schedule ratings that at one time was used to play a significant influence in both rankings and seeding for tournaments. Just for those interested, no team in the ACC played as many games involving top 25 AP rated teams as UL, with 12 (4-8). UNC played 8, and FSU only played 6. ND comes closest with 11, while NCST only played 9.
Aside from ACC conference games, UL played UCLA, UConn, Oklahoma and UK. If you look at the AP rankings as of this morning, UL played 5 of the top 10 teams.
