Autumn Johnson breaks down her 2024 March Madness women's bracket

When it comes to filling out brackets, Women's Bracket Challenge Game players focused on two options: South Carolina and Iowa.

The top-seeded Gamecocks were the champion pick on 37.55 percent of brackets, with the fellow No. 1 Hawkeyes going all the way on 29.28 percent. No one else topped 6 percent this year.

Defending national champion LSU is again a No. 3 seed and was the third-most popular title pick at 5.75 percent. No. 3 UConn was fourth (4.27 percent) โ€” ahead of the final two No. 1 seeds Texas (3.15 percent) and USC (2.89 percent) and all No. 2 seeds.

This is the second year in a row the Gamecocks go into the tournament as the undefeated No. 1 overall seed. Iowa upset South Carolina in the Final Four last year before LSU beat the Hawkeyes to win the program's first national title.

Here's the complete list of teams getting picked to win the title on at least 1 percent of Women's Bracket Challenge Game brackets:

Team Percent picked to win title
No. 1 South Carolina 37.55
No. 1 Iowa 29.28
No. 3 LSU 5.75
No. 3 UConn 4.27
No. 1 Texas 3.15
No. 1 USC 2.89
No. 2 Notre Dame 2.13
No. 2 Ohio State 1.97
No. 2 Stanford 1.94
No. 2 UCLA 1.37
