Three seeds: Baylor, Ohio State, Florida State, UCLA

The star power on all of these teams easily supports the idea of a Final Four run. It isn’t just Shakayla Thomas with Florida State, either, do not forget about the hyper-efficient AJ Alix. And the duo of Monique Billings and Jordin Canada, thus far, have performed as expected. Baylor is here not because Kalani Brown is any less of an unstoppable force than she was last season, but primarily due to strength of schedule. And Ohio State, despite a loss to Michigan, can still rely on volume scoring from Kelsey Mitchell and elite rebounding from Stephanie Mavunga.
