I really doubt we would play Duke or an ACC team in the sweet 16.   To be honest. I am not sure what Palm is doing.    Does the committee have new standards this year that they have never had before?
 
1) He claims the top 3 teams from each conference do not need to be in different brackets.   This has always been the case, and there was no exceptions in 2010-2013 bracket.
 
2) While the rule making conference teams not being able to play until the round of 8, was changed around 2006, it has still followed the rule completely, with the exception of when the Big East had 9 teams or more, and I believe in one instance where there was a play in team in the 11 or 12 line.
 
Clearly the committee has spoken and made it clear that unless your conference has 9 teams or more, you are not meeting unuil the elite 8.   I like Palm's seeding but his bracketing leaves to be desired, or he knows new rules that have not really been communicated yet.
