So, where to next?

The WNIT bracket will be unveiled on Monday night, and the question is where will the Aggies be headed. One rumor kicking around the press room in Anaheim on Saturday afternoon was San Diego State, but I'm not sure the RPI works. So far the "Western" teams with automatic bids are Boise State and Idaho State. They've already played each other this year, so that could be a possibility for the Aggies. Gonzaga is listed on ESPN's Women's Bracketology under "Next four out," and if that's true it's a natural for the tournament. The Aggies have already played the Bulldogs this year. Scrolling down the NCAA's RPI list in the 50-100 range, there are some intriguing possibilities. USC is sitting there at 82, UCLA is 94th, Santa Clara is 96th and Fresno State in 99th. I have no idea if any or all of those schools have bid for first round games or whether they would rate first-round byes.

The very same Bracketology page projects that Big West Champion UC Santa Barbara will be a 14th seed and play Cal at Stanford in the first round. Just looking at the numbers, it's hard to say whether the Aggies would have rated, but looking at the RPIs in the projections, I think its more likely they would have been a 15 or a 16.
