That particular S-curve departure rule doesn’t apply to the 5th or later team in the first four seeding lines from the same conference.

Are you referring to the rule:
"By bracketing rules, the first four teams from a conference must be placed in different regions."
If so, South Carolina, Texas, LSU and Vanderbilt the first four teams from the SEC and are in different regions. Oklahoma is the fifth team from that conference.

Not that it matters since the NCAA Brackets will be revealed tonight, but Creme (ESPN Bracketology) made a small mistake.
- He listed UC San Diego (Big West AQ) twice.
- He omitted Western Ill. (OVC AQ)

The last ESPN bracketology head ASU as one of the last four in playing Virginia in Norman Oklahoma... a 16 hour drive from Flagstaff
Let's hope that holds. And like all fans I'm super demanding I would love to see iASU play Nebraska in LA... The closest site for me.

Heard something interesting in the men's bracket Selection Show which I had not heard before; the overall #5 seed cannot be paired with the overall #1 seed; that would imply it is regardless of those other intra-conference rules we've been discussing here for days.
Don't believe I've heard that rule mentioned as applicable in the women's tourney guidelines.
