Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4603321, member: 1969"] At this point its pretty clear. I had them as the two non power conference teams on the 8/9 line... I had them both on the 9. I was actually going to make the change to have them play each other, as that is what they always predictably do. Just ran out of time. In the past with the complex bracketing rules (conference mates could only meet in the elite 8) sometimes these matchups just happened because it was the only bracket fit... there was also typically a few more non P6 teams on the 8/9 line. But this year there was only 2 non P6 schools on the 8/9 line. It was extremely easy to have them to avoid each other -- but also extremely easy to have them face each other because of the eased bracketing rules. [/QUOTE]
