The NCAA women's basketball committee has made changes to its selection criteria.

The committee will shift to the quad system that the men have used for seven years to measure the quality of a win or a loss.

The quad system replaces NET top-25 and top-50 wins and sub-100 losses.

The SEC looks to be the deepest, putting 11 teams in preseason Bracketology .

Many will be calling for more mid-majors to make the NCAA tournament with the bigger Power 4 leagues knocking each other off at a higher rate.

The opportunity might be there, but don't count on it happening.

It will come down to which of the non-Power 4 programs have the most success in November and December .
