Message: [QUOTE="UConNick, post: 4908651, member: 3806"] I think some are underestimating the importance of geography. If it goes 4. (1) UNC/TN, 5. (2) UNC/TN, 6. (2) ARIZ, then whoever between the two is number five on the s-curve will 99.9% go to the East or South, respectively. And Arizona will get the 2 in the West with the higher rated of UNC/TN as the 1. The committee considers geography more so than the s-curve. So long as the resulting regions aren’t TOO unbalanced competitively, they’ll let it fly. Look no further than last year when Purdue (4) and Marquette (8) were the 1 and the 2 in the same region. In fact, last year’s East had a seed sum of 37. For comparison, our West had a sum of 31. Outside of placing 1 and 5 together, anything goes. [/QUOTE]
