IMO sometimes it is too tedious for a selection committee to micromanage brackets for all aspects of every fan's perspective.   I don't see anything sinister or bias in the brackets.  At some point the committee has to say, ok this is good enough.

At first glance, UConn's bracket (Mercado) looks pretty tough from top to bottom IMHO:

• #8 Syracuse: they are an experienced team with their front-court Mangakahia & Lewis, and plenty of size with 6-2 Strautmane, 6-2 Williams, and ACC FOY & DPOY 6-7 Cardoso (potentially a game without Geno).
  
• #6 Michigan: junior Naz Hillmon is a stud, averaging 25 ppg and 11.4 rpg. She was the BigTen POY
  
• #5 Iowa: Caitlin Clark is leading the nation in scoring at almost 27 ppg. Would love to see her match up with the recently announced ESPN POY Bueckers
  
• #4 Kentucky: SEC POY 6-2 Rhyne Howard is averaging almost 21 ppg
  
• #3 Tennessee: dangerous team with elite size to compete with anyone. They already had a close game with UConn and beat SoCarolina this season
  
• #2 Baylor: Kim Mulkey knows how to win championships and beat UConn. Not as dominant in the post as years past, but they  have ultra athletic players in 6-2 N.Smith, 5-11 Carrington, 6-2 Richards
  

I personally would take multiple Pac 12 teams in my bracket vs UConn's
