If the top seeds were to all advance to the Final 4, minus NC State (hard to bet against Uconn making the Final 4 with their current streak). South Carolina would play Uconn in a seminal and Stanford would play Louisville? There is another top 16 bracket reveal on Thursday this week so will get another glimpse of where the committee currently stands.
The current version of the brackets is very favorable for Stanford, although lurking in their Sweet 16 is a very dangerous and very athletic currently #19 Florida team, which edged current #14 LSU, routed current #13 Tennessee and defeated current #16 Georgia over the past two weeks.
In the Wichita regional, #1 seed Louisville potentially faces #2 seed Arizona in the Elite 8 phase, and I really like Arizona's chances in this one since they beat Louisville last November and they are much improved (although Louisville has gotten better, as well). So we might see an all-PAC 12 on the Stanford half of the Final Four national semifinals.
