Women’s Bracketology 3/3/2026

The committee’s top 16 reveal over the weekend went largely as expected, they moved Texas back up to the 1 line to match what I had. The one major change I’ve made since the reveal is to drop Michigan State from a protected seed after their blowout loss to Ohio State. Instead, North Carolina takes the last hosting spot.

On the bubble, our big mover of the week is Texas A&M. The Aggies closed the season with their second Q1 win of the season, a road win at Ole Miss. They weren’t even on my radar screen three weeks ago but a 5-0 finish puts them in a play-in game for now.
