It's kind of interesting when you compare Texas to OU, and Texas to TCU.
From a non-conference perspective, none of the other teams have wins that compare to our wins over Stanford, Tennessee, and A&M. But, Kara Lawson stated after the Big 12 championship (when asked about Texas' potential seed) that it will depend how the committee views those wins as they were with Nneka, and now she's not playing. To me, some of those wins were without Imani, and now she is playing. So, perhaps that evens it out.
TCU's best win may have been against us in Fort Worth. But, they finished tied for 3rd in the Big 12 regular season. Still, if you look at the entire season's body of work, I don't think they did enough to get in the tourney.
OU had a disappointing non-conference season; but, they finished in 2nd place in the Big 12. Their best win is against Baylor; after that, it might be against us. Strangely, their season was almost opposite of ours. But, we were still good enough to beat them twice. OU has a really bad loss against Kansas at home late in the season. Our worst loss may have been at KSU or at WVU, although they are in the final 8 left out of the tourney.
I won't be surprised if we end up with a better seed than OU; both teams have similar RPI's. I would assume our SOS is better than theirs, but not certain.
We may never know the rationale for the committee's decisions. So, all you can is play the cards that are dealt to you.
