Top three teams from each conference must be in a different region
arizona St and UCLA can't be in same region.
Purdue and Illinois can't be in same region.
Dayton and Temple
Creighton and Northern Iowa
Duke and Wake Forest
Utah and San Diego St
Regional Rule will still be applied, they won't use the out unless they absolutely need to, and they won't. You broke that rule 5 or 6 times... putting together the bracket is like a puzzle.
They will have time to do it this year, because they will just interchange Purdue/Ohio St on differnet lines.
Then again predicting seeds, and the bubble, is the most important thing througout the process.

Argh...making sure teams from the same conference aren't meeting before the regional final is difficult enough!

I expect Butler, Siena and Utah State to be in the 8/9 games although I hope they get in the 7/10 ranges.

So Duke and Clemson (depending on the Tiger's seed) could still be in the same region, just not meet so early? Of course, that would mean Clemson wouldn't be a 7 seed for that to happen. They'd have to be like a 8 or 6?

No they would have to be a 5 or 8. I also think an 8 seed is a real possibility due to their 7-8 slump to the finish line.

I honestly think they are a #2 in Louisville or Pitt's region.

ya nevermind. silly me. i forgot it was duke. they start making dumb decisions any time they're up huge at the end of the game. what was i thinking?
Do you really think it matters whether Duke beats FSU by 8, 13 or 18 ? They were in complete control after the four threes in a row in the second half.
