Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2082355, member: 4946"] One thing that threw me off: Last night Creme (who mind you, is often wrong) said that he thought the committee would put Baylor in OKC. This morning he put them in Stockton with this explanation [URL="http://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/18841673/baylor-lady-bears-upset-causes-ripple-effect-bracket"]Baylor upset causes ripple effect throughout bracket[/URL] [I]Despite that mindset, I laid out the bracket with South Carolina in Oklahoma City and shifted Baylor to the Stockton Regional. It's a flight for either school to either location, so attendance is the only reason to try to keep Baylor in OKC. The result: a better, more balanced bracket -- and Texas as the No. 3 seed in the Oklahoma City Regional, giving it a Big 12 team after all. Due to bracketing principles and procedures, there was no way to get a competitively balanced bracket among the top four seeds with Baylor in OKC. With the Lady Bears in Stockton it's much more balanced -- and it's important to consider this scenario moving forward.[/I] [/QUOTE]
