Google is your friend and you can start at any point in the last 20+ years. Plus experience of watching the Seeding process over the past 20 years. The Region brackets are never balanced nor are they equal. All you have to do is the top 16 teams to determine the balance. Too many factors is the Committee's reasons for giving stupid explanations as to why it happened.

Ok. Maybe he was just talking about what was once called the “S Curve”. The host then said that would mean that 4 and 5 would be in the same region. Thanks for the clarification.

I’m not sure it matters that much.
We are either going to be the 1 or 2 in the West Region and Arizona will be the other.
So, either way, we most likely will have to beat Arizona in Los Angeles in front of a heavily pro Arizona crowd to make it to the FF.

Not how it works, if we are a 2 seed it will either be in the South with Houston or Midwest with Purdue.

Both Lunardi and Palm previously had us as the #5 team, which is the first Second seed.
They also had Arizona as the #4 overall team, which is the fourth First seed.

The way seedlings work, those two seeds are paired in the same regional.
So, if everything holds, both Arizona and the Vols will be in Los Angeles region as either 1 or 2 seeds.
as of this morning, both Lunardi and Palm have the Vols as #1 in the West and Arizona #2 in the west.

Men's Bracketology: Auburn lost but stays No. 1 as Tennessee, Texas Tech drop

Another rare loss won't erase all that the Tigers have accomplished this season. Meanwhile, Florida is back on the 1-line and Texas A&M rises to a 2-seed.

No, that’s quite literally how it does not work.

Most recent projection I’ve seen for that West bracket would have us (as a 1 Seed) potentially facing FAU in the 2nd game.

We were the 6 though, not the 5, they typically try and avoid putting the 1 and 5 together if at all possible.

Yeah - I'm assuming Houston has jumped them for the overall #1. Since the initial reveal, Houston hasn't lost, and Purdue lost to Ohio St (I think that was after the reveal at least...)

Most folks believe Purdue is still the 1

Getting a 1 is a huge deal: It means avoiding the big three until the Final Four. Of course even as a 1 we could be playing UNC or Marquette,
but we might also get Iowa State--and that's a helluva lot better than having to play Houston, UConn or Purdue.

If we are a 1 we will almost certainly get Arizona because we will be in the West. If one of those 3 teams you mentioned falls to a 3 then it’s possible we could see them.

Not trying to get into your time here, because you already do a great job detailing the post game analysis. Why not give a detailed explanation of how it works? Seems to me the criteria has changed some over the years

In BTO’s defense, this has been discussed ad nauseam in multiple threads for the last month. If anyone wants to know how the S-Curve and location plays into seeding, they could just flip through half the threads in here, specifically the seed watch thread.

A. I’ve already done that multiple times.

B. Google is available for all folks that can access this site.
