The first bracket of the season

ESPN columnist Charlie Creme says it's never too early to take aim at March. Here is his first look (through games played as of Dec. 10) at how the women's 2008 NCAA bracket might look come Selection Monday.

He has this to say about the three Pac-10 teams in his December bracket:
  • Stanford (2): The next three games (Baylor, at New Mexico, Tennessee) before the start of Pac-10 play will go a long way in demonstrating whether the Cardinal are worthy of a No. 1 seed .
  • California (3): Devanei Hampton is back from knee surgery as the Bears' great start gets its biggest test Monday at Rutgers.
  • Arizona State (5): The losses have only been to good competition, but if the Sun Devils are going to take that next step nationally, beating a North Carolina or Oklahoma has to happen.
