Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 5121883, member: 6927"] Yes, the numbering can shift with each iteration because there is no predetermined link between overall seeding and regional site location. For example, if USC or UCLA were to rise to overall #1 seed, we would then see a "REGION 1 SPOKANE" designation on the ESPN toy bracket. This is not accurate. There is no single "Birmingham region". There are two separate regionals that happen to play at the same site. The numbers 1-4 for each regional designate the overall seeding of the respective top seeds for each regional. On the current toy bracket, "SPOKANE 3" means that the projected top seed in that regional is the projected overall #3 seed. The top seed in "SPOKANE 4" is the projected overall #4 seed. But again, those numbers can shift as the projected overall seeding shifts. [/QUOTE]
