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.

I agree....I think they're going to do everything they can to have a USCe vs USCw final four / LSU v IOWA on the other side. There's no way they're not going to capitalize or lose money in the final four when WBB is pretty much at its peak as far as interest.
They will make sure they get CC fab base and money in the final four, Angel's fan base and money in the final four, they'll have a Goliath in USCe in the final four, and then they'll have the next in line JUJU in the final four and that west coast viewership and money.
