WBB Bracketology 5.0: You can’t ignore the mid-majors
Waco:
2. Baylor (Big 12)
15. Harvard (Ivy)
7. Marquette
10. Miami
After beating Texas by 25 a couple weeks back, there’s little doubt that Baylor is the best team in the Big 12. Assuming they beat Harvard in the first round, the Bears would get either a Marquette team that continues to challenge the best in the nation or Miami, which has won five out of six.
College Park:
3. Maryland (Big Ten)
14. Albany (America East)
6. Stanford
11. South Dakota State
The Cardinal keep rising. Stanford was once 9-7, but has now won seven out of eight games with that lone loss coming at UCLA. Its win at Oregon on Sunday was as clear a sign as any that Tara Vanderveer has her team playing its best as we near the home stretch.
