College lacrosse: ACC champion Syracuse likely to land top-two NCAA tourney seed (PS)

[OrangeXtreme]

PROJECTED BRACKET
Reminder: Only the top eight teams are seeded. Everyone else is slotted in with geographic constraints in mind. The NCAA committee is supposed to limit the field to two flights (teams traveling more than 400 miles) if at all possible, but it is going to be difficult to avoid a third flight based on the current data. In this scenario, three flights are required.

Denver quarterfinal

(1) Notre Dame vs. SOUTHERN/Richmond-NORTHEAST/Saint Joseph's
(8) Cornell vs. AMERICA EAST/Albany

Denver quarterfinal

(4) BIG EAST/Denver vs. Yale
(5) Duke vs. BIG TEN/Johns Hopkins

Annapolis quarterfinal

(3) North Carolina vs. Georgetown
(6) Maryland vs. IVY/Brown

Annapolis quarterfinal

(2) ATLANTIC COAST/Syracuse vs. COLONIAL/Fairfield-METRO ATLANTIC/Marist
(7) Virginia vs. PATRIOT/Colgate

Moving in: Brown, Colgate, Fairfield, Johns Hopkins
Moving out: Navy, Ohio State, Princeton, Towson

Last three in: Cornell, Yale, Georgetown
First three out: Princeton, Ohio State, Marquette

Thats a dream bracket for Syracuse (outside of UNC). Where can I sign up for that?

How is Cuse not the top seed? With a win against Colgate, I think its a given...

 

[Macky44]

This actually helps syracuse a bit because its closer to home.

I'll take this. I'd just as soon have Denver and Duke in the other side of the bracket. As for UNC, you got to beat somebody good eventually.

The only difference between 1 and 2 IMO is we avoid an ACC opponent in the QF, but Albany-COrnell wouldn't be much easier.
Denver will be in the 4/5 game somehow I believe.
