One of the fellow posters from a general college board I used to post on, hated this as well. I told him the no-conference matchups until the elite eight make it difficult to avoid this. Sometimes you just need to move teams on the line to make it work. It must also be noted that if you don't put non-BCS in the top four seed lines, and have four more non-BCS at larges in 2012 vs 2011, its hard to avoid alot of these matchups.
 
 
Given that both my predicted bracket and the NCAA bracket had no non-BCS as top 4 seeds, and I had no bias in determining matchups (nor made any attempt to avoid or create such matchups), I decided to compare how many I had vs the commitee:
 
I had 8 such games projected:
 
7 St Mary's vs 10 Harvard
6 Memphis vs NC St/Drexel Play in Winner
8 Gonzaga vs 9 San Diego St
6 Creighton vs 11 VCU
5 Wichita St vs 12 Xavier
6 UNLV vs 11 Southern Miss
5 New Mexico vs 12 Long Beach St
6 Murray St vs 11 BYU
 
In prior years it may have been easier to try to avoid or create as there was less teams. But they make up the majority of teams between 5-12.
