Is this basically correct?

First weekend: 16 teams host...need to be top 4 seed.  IMO....With returning players and some improved play we host and advance to a
sweet 16 site. ...of which there are only 2...in South Carolina and out west.

8 teams at each site....2 different pods of 4 at the two sites.   2 teams from each site advance to the final 4.

When the 2 pods are formed at each site....how will they do that?  Example: South Carolina might well be
overall #1 seed.  Their elite 8 game might be against the team seeded 4th in their pod.   Teams seeded 2 and 3
might meet in the other final 8 game their.  So...a UConn getting either the 2 or 3 seed there would avoid SC...maybe playing an Indiana or LSU....win 2 in South Carolina....
there we are in the final 4.,,,which is still realistic imo given some health luck.

Again though: when the 8 teams arrive at the sweet 16 teams sites, will they be re-ranked 1-8 with the accompanying match-ups clearly defined:
1-8/2-7/3-6/4/5 for the sweet 16 games and the winners go to the final 8 games?

Or: will their prior seedings going into week one be maintained?

A different set-up this year for sure...an unusual result coming up?

Got help on this topic?
