Creme has posted his initial bracketology on ESPN

Notable, for what this is worth, Stanford's non-conference games now include 2 of Creme's #1 seeds -- not only South Carolina but also Tennessee.  Also of interest, the change in the tournament format, to only 2 regional sites rather than 4. One is Seattle, the other Greenville -- no Bridgeport this year.

UCLA grad and wbb supporter here.  Stanford indeed has a challenging non-conference schedule and I hope the Cardinal can get through it undefeated.

As far as facing #1 seeds: Creme’s #7 seed UCLA will play Creme’s projected overall #1 seed South Carolina in Columbia Nov 29th, #1 seed Stanford twice and, if it can get past projected #6 seed South Dakota State in the first round of the Battle for Atlantis, could match up against projected #1 seed Tennessee (who opens against Rutgers) with a possible third tournament game against #1 seed Texas.  So the Bruins will play at least three games against #1 seeds and possibly five.

I think the Bruins can vie for a top three finish in conference after the injury-riddled 2021/22 season.   Unfortunately two post players, Angela Dugalic and Izzy Anstey, have already been sidelined by injury.
