Great news! I know the team tries not to focus on things like that, but the program (and league) as a whole benefits from the national attention. Now that we are back in both major polls, I have to think that as long as we keep winning we can only move up. We will need that intangible "cache" if we end up needing an at-large, because the RPI is only going to gradually go down through league play, even with winning.
It could help with seeding, as well.

Most recent Bracketology has us as a 6-seed again, but now playing Oklahoma(11) in the NC State(3) host location. I'd be good with that!

Arizona might be a little harder first rd game than Charlies Ohio St.….but these bracketology predictions aren't all that accurate anyway, especially this early. The 2nd rd, assuming a win in first rd, might be a little easier playing Gonzaga rather than Louisville, but hedging a little, Gonzaga is awful good this year too, just the mid-major bias label showing a little in thinking they might be a smidgeon easier than Louisville, maybe about the same actually?......Oops, didn't see the latest, 6th seed playing 11 Okla, and if winning that one, playing #3 (assuming) NC State. this seems better, although NC State if I remember was very tall, and are a better program as they kept their team together for the most part for last couple yrs? They all get tall the further you go it seems, and more athletic, sometimes it's quickness too.

Creme's updated Bracketology had a couple interesting items. Yotes are still a 6 seed, but he has them placed in an all-mid-major quadrant, being hosted by Gonzaga. That will never happen, but is interesting. Also, SDSU entered as the SL auto-qualifier at a 13 seed. It appears he isn't saying that SL is a 2-bid league, since the at-large teams run out around a 12 seed, but rather since SDSU technically leads the conference as of today (played one more game than USD), they get the auto bid. If they lose in SLT they are out.

If they lose in SLT they are out. While this scenario could absolutely happen, it actually makes me lose a little respect for Creme's predictions. Basically they just take the team with the currently best conference record as most likely to get the bid. At the end of the season, that's not a terrible assumption, but the fact that they are just looking at conference record with little other data or analysis is exposed by this situation, IMO. I'm sure there is some non-formula subjective analysis done by Creme, but clearly not for the whole field. Whatever. Something to talk about. I'll be very happy for them to get a 6-seed, regardless of opponent. Winning the SLT has got to be a monkey to get off the back, though. Just like a regular season title was a monkey to kill for State last year.

Arizona State beats #2 Oregon and #3 Oregon State so they get really bumped up. Iowa beats #17 Maryland and #12 Indiana and leapfrogs. Not sure why Tennessee jumped over us. They beat 2 of the bottom 4 in SEC.

Obviously polls are weird! Fun to watch but biased! Facts and actual results often have little bearing.
I watched the Indiana vs Iowa game and the Hoosiers/coach did a terrible job in ot and certainly didn't look like a number 12 team. Constantly let same Iowa guard drive for easy layups.
Bottom line is "power" conferences in women's BB aren't that powerful especially this year!
