I just don't want the Card to be the #4 overall -- would probably mean playing U Conn in the semis, and although I think we can  beat them, would prefer to do it in the championship game. I do think that Louisville is dangerous, also South Carolina. Not so sure about Maryland, don't have much sense of how good they are. Going against Baylor would be interesting -- seeing Carrington playing against Stanford.

This is one of those times that the squishiness of seeding can work in our favor.  The committee might WANT to place UConn and Stanford as #1 and #2 (the other order, I hope) so that they would meet in the final rather than a semifinal.  The two coaches with the most wins meeting in the final makes for a better story than them meeting in a semifinal.
