they seed the top 8 teams as the committee sees it regardless of at large or aq status. the 1 and 2 seeds will likely be playing the play in winners.laxpert wrote: ↑Mon Apr 10, 2023 8:00 pm Will they still be seeding eight and then pairing up the the eight at large based on travel and other indefinite criteria? Some formidable opponents could be in the at large pool. Could we see not only first round upsets but an unseeded team make it to the Final Four weekend?
after that, the 3 etc. seed probably isn't going to be playing the 9th best team but there's probably a floater on several spots up or down based on flights (or conference affiliation) if needed.
