Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 5226170, member: 6927"] They have a “principle” where the top 4 teams from a conference are supposed to put in separate regionals if they're in the top 4 seed lines. But as noted above, the distribution of SEC and ACC teams in the top 3 seed lines made it impossible to fully follow this principle. But the committee works from top to bottom, so it looks like they followed this principle as long as they could until they were forced to violate it. When they got to #9 Notre Dame, they followed their principle and moved them to the regional with Texas and TCU. Next up was #10 LSU, which was put in the UCLA-NC State regional. Next was #11 Oklahoma, placed with USC-UConn. And finally, that left UNC nowhere to go but into the SC-Duke regional. [/QUOTE]
