[QUOTE="AdDoBe, post: 1827742, member: 748274"] I think you're mis-interpreting the second round matchups (or I am...). 6/11 winner would play 3 so all the B1G teams aren't in the same "region." Similarly, 8/9 winner would play 1 so 3 SEC teams can't make the final four of this bracket. You do bring up an interesting point, though, about if the committee will tweak rankings to avoid an "unbalanced" bracket. Another interesting scenario would be if TCU/KSU were ranked 6/11 for example. So KSU's "reward" for beating TCU in the B12 championship game would be to play them again on the road... There would have to be some sort of "protection" against that, no? [/QUOTE]
