Selection Monday Winners And Losers

... 2. South Carolina. With Baylor being placed in the Oklahoma City Regional, that means the higher-rated Gamecocks are off to the furthest possible region for the third time in four years. This marks the second time in four tournaments that South Carolina has been shipped to the West Coast. The trip itself is not a big deal, but the dramatic time zone shift is. Those three hours can make routines and schedules a difficult adjustment. The only time Dawn Staley's team has made it to the Final Four in this four-year window is when they stayed in the Eastern time zone and played in the Greensboro regional.

Puzzling Decisions Sprinkled Throughout Women's Ncaa Bracket

... as was a better RPI, stronger schedule and better overall record. They each had the same number of top-50 wins. They split during the regular season. Cal does have a win over Oklahoma, but Oregon has a better one over Washington. The seeding here is confusing at best. There's simply no reasonable explanation why Cal would be seeded ahead of the Ducks. Selection committee chair Terry Gawlik hinted that there might have been a procedural bump, which allows for a team to be moved up or down one seed line. If that's what happened, it could have been done better. Cal was one of the last four teams included in the bracket, so its original seed was a No. 10, as was Oregon's. Because of the areas on the bracket of the other Pac-12 teams, one of them had to be bumped to a No. 9 to prevent conference matchups before the Elite Eight. The Ducks, as the higher-ranked team on the ...

At ESPN, the grand prize is $50,000 and a trip to this November's Maui Invitational. That prize requires a hatred of spending Thanksgiving with family. If I won this prize, my wife would likely make me forfeit it, and I doubt I'm alone. You can also win up to $10,000 in Amazon gift cards, which is a great prize that could last at least a few weeks. To win the $50,000 prize, you also have to sign off on ESPN giving All State your personal information. I OK'd it, but if All State spokesman Dennis Haysbert shows up at my door next month, I'm going to be furious. Still, this is easily the best public prize of any of the major services. I'm just curious what happened to the $1 million prize for perfect brackets or other pipe dreams I can go to sleep the night ...
