#1s in order -- South Carolina (Greenville region); Baylor (Dallas region); Oregon (Portland); Maryland (Fort Wayne)
#2s in order -- UConn (Portland region); Louisville (Fort Wayne region); Stanford (Dallas region); UCLA (Greenville region)
Both OSU (#15) and Arizona (#14) are in top 16 as 4 seeds, so would get to host.
Oh please oh please let UConn get sent to Portland opposite Oregon.
Weird. As the top #2 they would generally go to either the geographically closest regional or the one with the bottom #1. There must have been some other compromise in play to send them to Portland.
Well, they couldn't send either UCLA or Stanford to Portland since they don't put a 1 vs 2 from the same conference in the same region. And Louisville, which as the #6 which in the strict seeding should be in Portland against #3 Oregon, is going to Fort Wayne because it's geographically close, and the NCAA really pays attention to that. Then UCLA goes to Greenville, following seeding, so by the time you're done, UConn is in Portland. Or something like that.
