There is always a little controversy with seeding and someone always goes out early. Who goes out early this year?

follow-up question... How many, if any, Top 8s do not make it to Elite 8?

Man Pitt getting no love at all. I’d actually pull for them if they weren’t in same region as psu and Stanford

Nah, I think Pitt makes it to the Sweet 16. IMO, Wisconsin (UCLA) and Minnesota (Creighton) have the best chance of getting knocked out this weekend.

Washington can be so powerful, and then so vulnerable. Just not sure they'll make it.

This is a tough question. I think a similar question was posed last year, but only for the top-4 seeds. In that case, the possible pitfall for Minnesota was obvious. There isn't one of those that really jumps out at me this year. UCLA could give Wisconsin fits. Colorado State could give Washington all it can handle. Good USC can take down Baylor. Creighton could topple Minnesota.
I am not picking any of those upsets, but if I were placing odds of it happening I'd go with Baylor, Washington, Wisconsin and Minnesota as the most likely upsets.
I think Pitt should be fine to make it to the Sweet 16. I love Jordan Thompson, but they still lost 6 matches with her against a pretty light schedule and were already swept once by Pitt, quite handily.

How good is Washington at serving and serve receive? The worst match up for CSU is a strong serving team. CSU also has very strong servers but serve receive can struggle. They have a huge block and a top 5 setter who plays the net very well.

I'm not looking at stats but McPherson, Bajema, Powell, Dreschel, and especially Bogomolova are all lethal at the service line. |

Could an "on" USC beat Baylor in the second round?

My head says Washington.
But my heart hopes it's Baylor getting knocked off by USC so that UW can host a regional.
