Women’s Bracketology 2/16/2026

I'm back with my inaugural women’s bracketology of the season. Connecticut and UCLA are the obvious top 2 seeds, but there’s some intrigue behind them. Texas grabs the third 1 seed thanks to wins over UCLA and South Carolina, while the Gamecocks grab the last 1 seed thanks to their road win at LSU yesterday.

If you think men’s basketball is light on mid-majors, just look at the women’s side. I don’t have a single mid-major team projected for an at-large bid here (although Princeton and Rhode Island could probably get them if they needed them).

Bids by Conference:

Big Ten: 12

SEC: 11

Big 12: 9

ACC: 8

Big East: 2
