Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4189438, member: 6927"] Teams are placed in the bracket in the order of the S-curve. So, out of the 4 teams on each respective seed line, the 1st team is more likely to be placed near home than the 4th team, notwithstanding any necessary deviations from the S-curve due to conference affiliation, bracket balance, etc. If you look at the committee's reveal of Jan. 27, UConn was #11 overall, i.e. the third 3 seed, and they were bumped to a more distant regional because another 3 seed was ahead of them on the S-curve. Which wouldn't have happened if UConn were, say, #9 (the first 3 seed). [/QUOTE]
