I don't even know that there is a big gap between UConn/Stanford and other top 5 teams.  I think based on the totality of the season, UConn and Stanford stand out, and should be appropriately ranked 1/2, but I think there is a better than even chance that the final will not be Stanford vs. UConn, and given the number of good teams out there, I might take "the field" over Stanford or UConn to win the whole thing.  In a single elimination tournament where you have to win 6 games (at least three of which will likely be against very good teams), really anything can happen.
