The projected 2025 March Madness women’s bracket might already be cooked

Brace yourselves. The 2025 women’s March Madness bracket might already be wonky.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. It’s March, and that means there is basketball galore. So many people are tuning in across the country as teams march ― get it? ― towards the NCAA tournament. Typically, that means some madness ― see what I did there? ― as top programs across the country compete for a national championship.

However, the wild times have started early this year during tournament play. Upsets across multiple conferences are causing chaos and potentially affecting the larger March Madness women’s bracket. Unfortunately, projected seeding might already be cooked for many programs nationwide. Here’s what I mean.

Here are 4 teams already threatening to upend March Madness:

Vanderbilt Commodores

Vanderbilt has now beaten the Tennessee Lady Volunteers twice this season, including upsetting them during the SEC tournament. Freshman Mikayla Blakes was a one-woman wrecking crew, but Vandy had several other players, including Khamil Pierre and Iyana Moore, who simply unraveled Kim Caldwell’s team. Their defense left a lot to be desired at times, and then, their offense sputtered on the other end.With the tournament elimination, Tennessee’s NCAA tournament seeding could be at stake. “It’s been a really disappointing last week, week-and-a-half,” Caldwell said after losing to the Commodores. “I don’t think we played well. Even some of the games we won, we didn’t play well. We need to rest, get healthy, and get back to it.”

For the first time in program history, Vanderbilt has beaten Tennessee twice in the same season. Shea Ralph has her team playing some great basketball in Greenville.

Tennessee has now lost 3 of its last 4 and per @CharlieCreme now doesn’t…
