Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3046351, member: 6927"] The committee surprised him (and everyone) in their reveal last Monday when they put then-overall #6 Notre Dame in Greensboro with #1 Baylor. I believe the committee did this because they didn't want to send Notre Dame out to the west coast for a second year in a row (by strict S-curve they should've been paired with #3 Oregon in Portland). However, if Notre Dame is sent to Albany as overall #5 (as in his current bracket), the committee no longer has that reason to deviate from the S-curve to send the overall #6 (in this case MSU) to Greensboro. Assuming that Creme's current overall seedings are as follows... [INDENT]1. Baylor 2. Oregon 3. Louisville 4. UConn[/INDENT] [INDENT]5. ND 6. Miss St 7. Stanford 8. NC St[/INDENT] [INDENT]9. Oregon St 10. Iowa 11. Maryland 12. Miami[/INDENT] [INDENT]13. SC 14. Marquette 15. Iowa St 16. Gonzaga[/INDENT] We'd be more likely to see these pairings, IMHO: [INDENT]Greensboro: 1. Baylor 2. NC St 3. Oregon St 4. Gonzaga[/INDENT] [INDENT]Portland: 1. Oregon 2. Miss St 3. Miami 4. Iowa St[/INDENT] [INDENT]Chicago: 1. Louisville 2. Stanford 3. Iowa 4. SC[/INDENT] [INDENT]Albany: 1. UConn 2. ND 3. Maryland 4. Marquette[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
