Now that I've had time to look it up East region has:

B10, ACC and Pac 10 regular season champs as well as the SEC tournament Champs. That's 4 of the Big 6 accounted for in 1 bracket.

For our mid major champs we have the A10, Colonial and Ivy league teams.

Also as per the last AP poll you have #1, #6, #11, #15, #18 and #20.

I'm not going to do that for every bracket but it sure seems loaded to me.

Compared to a straight 'S" curve seeding:

01-06-11-15-18-20

01-08-09-16-17-24

Not much difference.

I complained last year, this year I'm fine with tOSU's path. I think Pitt and Florida caught a break, but other than that I don't think the top-4 in each region is very bad.

That was before the tournaments. Kentucky would jump from 15 to 11 or 12. North Carolina would probably stay about the same. Syracuse would probably be 12 or 13.

Overall I don't think north Carolina and Syracuse as the #2 and #3 is a big deal. Yet Ohio State should get one of the weakest 4 seeds, instead they get a red hot team that would be pushing the top 10.

So our bracket has more champions from BCS conferences than any other bracket. Sure glad we got rewarded for the top overall seed. :ohwell:

Gotlieb just said "Syracuse plays (them) in their home state of Ohio".

WTF?

FIFY

Them referring to Xavier in the second game.

Syracuse will have more fans there, though.
