Charlie Creme has revised his predictions, and he has kept Stanford as a 1 seed and added Virginia Tech as a 1 seed, knocking two Big 10 teams to the 2 seed level:

1 seeds
South Carolina
Indiana
Stanford
Virginia Tech

2 seeds
Iowa
Maryland
LSU
Utah

I'm a bit surprised.  I still think it is a flip of a coin which 2 teams out of Stanford, VT, Iowa, and Maryland get the 2 remaining 1 seeds.  Nevertheless, just for a bit of fanciful fun, if Cremes' predictions came true and seeds held, this is who we would play:

At Maples:
Southern Utah
Oklahoma State

In Seattle:
Texas
Maryland

Final Four in Dallas:
Indiana
South Carolina

That would set up a trip down memory lane.  It would be a rematch of Stanford and Maryland, 1 and 2 seeds, in the state of Washington, in the regional final--like 1998. 2008.  In that game Candice scored 41 points for us to send us to the final four and prove the committee had wronged us by putting us below Maryland as a 2 seed.  That was the most important win for the program in 11 years--the last time we had made it to the final four, and it changed the trajectory and expectations for the program.

In the past, however, I have found Creme to be pretty far off the mark, and have wondered why so many people put so much stock in his predictions.  I guess just because--like me--they find them entertaining.
