As we get closer to Selection Sunday, it’s time for our
#Bracketology — presented by
@smart_lax_ball_get_reps — to reflect the logistical side of Selection Sunday. 🤔👉
Remember, the bracket is not seeded after No. 8 in order to allow the Committee to avoid expensive travel (i.e. trips beyond 400 miles that require flights, usually limited to two per bracket) and, with very limited exceptions, avoid conference rematches in the first round.
To prevent at least three flights and conference rematches (right now,
@terencefoy.il ranks the ACC teams’ résumés as Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 10), flipping Duke & Harvard could solve those issues.
*AQ Assumptions have switched from highest RPI to Top Seed in Conference Tournaments.
