Win that and it's on to either Portland or Albany for next round


Portland or Albany ?
So I assume Stanford will be the one seed out west and LSU two.

I would welcome this. Of the #1 seeds, I feel as if Stanford is the most vulnerable.

I feel like LSU is a lock for Portland. S. Carolina will be at Albany since they will be the top overall seed and will stay geographically closest to home.

LSU is currently projected as #8 overall seed, but we will NOT stay there. There is 0.00% chance they will have a potential LSU-SC game in the regional final. The committee has the right to do a "Procedural bump" where they can move a team a spot or 2 to avoid intra-conference matchups.

The committee has said in the past they try to avoid same-league matchups in the Elite 8 "where possible". For the SEC, this is very easy since the top 2 teams were so much better than every one else in the league.

This is probably much harder for the Pac-12 and Big-10.
