Yes the 2022 projected bracket is out way too early.
Yes, I know it's way too early to be taken seriously. I know it was created to encourage clicks and discussion. Well, I clicked, and while part of me wants to avoid discussion just because I don't like that approach I'm going to discuss. I'll respect anyone who wants to ignore this discussion.
Check out this list:
Arizona
Arkansas
South Carolina
Oregon
Baylor
Notre Dame
It might not jump out at you immediately because it's a little painful, but that's a list of the last six teams in reverse chronological order, to beat UConn.
What on earth with such a list have to do with the 2022 bracket? Absolutely nothing.
How would you place those teams in the bracket?
South Carolina is loaded, was a number one seed has everybody back and a great incoming class and I don't believe there is a woman's basketball fan in the country would question selecting them as a potential number one seed. Baylor for obvious reasons is not quite so clear, but let's ignore for the moment the recent coaching change and the shoes that haven't dropped. It is not an unreasonable assumption to think of Baylor as being number one seed.
Obviously, team selected as number one seeds will be in their own bracket and not in UConn's bracket assuming UConn as is obvious should be a number one seed.
That leaves four other teams who have beaten UConn most recently. If you parcel them out randomly, you'd expect to find one in each bracket, with a decent chance that one of the brackets might have two of them
Every. Single. One. Of. Those. Four. Teams. Is. In.UConn's. bracket.
I'm not going to calculate the odds. It wasn't an honest creation of a bracket it was the creation of click bait.
That's all I have to say about that.
