Why is the women's bracket easier to do well in than the men's?

Legit question...my men's brackets are toast, but one of my brackets is in the 99th percentile right now.

Talent disparity

Because there is a massive gap between the top 5-10 women's programs and everyone else so it's usually really chalky after the first round.

Higher seeds were 31-1 in the first round and 13-3 in the second round (with two of the three being 5s over 4s).
Instead of picking a wild 68 team tournament, you are basically picking a 24 team tournament, every year.
The mens tournament - higher seeds were 21-11 in the first round. Thats a significant difference. Last year higher seeds were 25-7 in the first round, but 7 of the Sweet 16, and 7 of the Elite 8 were off-seed.

Because you're the only person who filled out a women's bracket

Mulkey said it herself, "It is easier to have a Cinderella team in the men's then the women's".

Of the 41 teams to win the women's tournament, only 10 weren't a 1 seed and none lower than a 3.

Close, 3,250,647 filled out brackets on ESPN.
I personally didn't. Forgot. It be like that

I almost didn't, but my school's having a March Madness competition with prizes for the winners, so I figured, why not? The thing is, I went with Scar in both brackets. If I had picked Iowa in one of them, I'd be a lock (I'm currently #1 and #2 out of 99 brackets).

Simple. Home games the first 2 rounds for the top seeds.

My performance so far:
Round of 64: 280/320.
Round of 32: 240/320
Sweet Sixteen: 280/320
Elite Eight: 320/320.
Home field advantage doesn't apply to the third and fourth rounds.

Do they even have women game brackets?
Posted on 4/2/24 at 12:25 pm to FootballFrenzy
because of parity...but with that said, its harder now to pick the womens bracket than it was 10 years ago by far.

There’s typically fewer upsets in all women’s sports. Less overall elite talent to spread out.
The exception is professional
Women’s tennis, which has been way more unpredictable than men’s in recent years.
