December 11 - NCAA Women's Tournament Projections

The march toward semester exams is on at colleges across the country, which means the schedule for college basketball is slowing down before conference schedules go into full swing in January.

There isn't much change in my projections from last week to this week.  

USC moves up to a #4 seed after Notre Dame lost to Ole Miss, and then Ole Miss lost to Kansas State.

Iowa State made a case to be a #2 seed with a win over Iowa.  ESPN currently has the Cyclones as a #3 seed.  It will be interesting to see if that changes in their next Bracketology.


#1 Seed

UConn

Texas

South Carolina

UCLA

#2 Seed

Michigan

Maryland

LSU

Iowa State

#3 Seed

TCU

Oklahoma

North Carolina

Iowa

#4 Seed

Vanderbilt

Kentucky

USC 

Baylor

Blue letters mean new entry.

It's one thing to want the bishops to do more.  It's another thing to say that that the current President's policies are not in conflict with scripture.  They are. "Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, ...

America Only

Within the cave of conservatism there is a group who not only believe that America should be the first priority, but should be the only priority.   Most but not all conservatives are Christian, so this campaign seems to conflict with the teachings of Jesus. " Therefore go and make disciples of all nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,   and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (emphasis added) I'm not an expert in geography, but I know the United States is not the only nation.  There are at least 20 nations if the G20 has taught me anything.  From which of those nations does Jesus not want disciples?  Based on basic reading skills it would seem that Jesus would want disciples from all off the those nations.  I may be cherry picking a Bible verse to prove a point. However, there is another ve...
