RPI ratings this week have #4 Tenn, #5 UConn, #6 Maryland. http://www.rpiratings.com/womensrpi.php
Another loss will possibly force the committee to avoid giving UConn a #1 seed.
They also show So. C.al at #30 moved ahead of C.al at #31.
ESPN's bracketology is up. Can you believe they've still included #89 RPI No. Carolina??
Again, he's got Stanford playing at Norman with a likely 2nd round game against a home team with a #22 RPI (ie, what should be a #6 seed).
The question is fast becoming how will they line up the teams likely to make the final four? I suspect they will avoid putting UConn and ND where they have to meet before the final four. That might force Stanford into the half where they don't meet Baylor until the finals (which seems fair if Stanford is the #2 seed overall). ie,

(Last game between them Marist won by 6 at home). If Fairfield makes it, I bet they make UConn a #2 seed (no matter whether they beat ND) and Fairfield a #15
