Fair is in the eye of the beholder, hence the imperfect "formula" we currently have.

To further show how much a crapshoot womens basketball is. Kansas, Creighton, and USF picked up first round wins in NCAA tourney. WVU last of the last four in, lost.

Toledo, Fordham, and Pacific still alive in WNIT.
Duquesne downed by BG. So 3 of 4 last/best teams out, still chugging along.

I don't see it. Looks like women's basketball continues to be very top heavy. Upsets are rare in the first two rounds as the top seeds cruise into the second weekend. This year, the only thing you could call even a mild upset in the first round was a 12 seed, Kansas, power conference school, beating 5-seed South Carolina, another power conference school.

The only mid-majors in the round of 32 are Creighton, a 10 seed, Delaware a 6, and Dayton, a 7. It will likely be an all power conference Sweet 16, or maybe one of those three mids makes it. It is vastly different from the men's tourney in that regard. The top 10 teams are so powerful, it is next to impossible to crash the party.

Sure, the WNIT field of 64 could probably compete relatively equally with the 6-16 seeds, as could some teams who are in neither field. To me, it seems there is a startling lack of strength and depth in women's basketball.
