Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3037359, member: 6927"] Oh boy, I cringe at the thought of reopening that can of worms among a certain fanbase, and so I hesitated to make this very point. But now that you did the deed, the following is one of the "additional considerations" in the committee's bracketing principles: [INDENT]The committee shall attempt to avoid moving a team or a[/INDENT] [INDENT]conference out of its natural region or geographic area[/INDENT] [INDENT]an inordinate number of times and will examine the[/INDENT] [INDENT]previous three tournament brackets to determine the[/INDENT] [INDENT]number of times a team or conference has been assigned[/INDENT] [INDENT]out of its natural region.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] Key word here is "attempt," since there are so many other principles that the committee has to take into account, some of which have to take precedence. But yeah, I suspect that the committee is loath to ship Notre Dame out to Portland just one year after they were sent to Spokane. [/QUOTE]
