That second round game would be an absolute war.

Yeah, I really don't want that. Not sure we can really avoid something along those lines though.

I'd rather not be the one seed if that was the case.

Like I said in an earlier post, other than the top three seeds (I was wrong, it's only the top two seeds) every game is a toss up. Playing the winner of Cornell/Albany is not ideal, but at the two seed you get the winner of Duke/Loyola. Duke has a ton of offensive talent and Loyola is the defending Champions. There is no way around a tough second round game and most teams are getting a tough first round game.

Right now I am more interested on who goes to Indy and Byrd for the second round. Would not want to be the higher seed playing Maryland a home to get to the final four.

Plan on Denver and ND being placed in the Indy bracket.

Plan on Denver and ND being placed in the Indy bracket.

Yeah I agree.
Syracuse, North Carolina top 4 seeds playing in College Park.
Notre Dame, Denver top 4 seed playing in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

I think with Denver's loss we will see 1. Syracuse 2. Notre Dame 3. North Carolina 4. Denver

IMO the most ideal 2nd round opponents for Syracuse would be from Penn State, Ohio State, or Lehigh, and most difficult would be Cornell, Maryland, Albany, Duke
Maybe Ohio State can get the 8 seed even though they have a better resume. I just don't want to see Cornell@#8Maryland.

I would be shocked if we didn't see:

1 SU (Byrd)
2 ND/OSU (Indy)
3 ND/OSU (Indy)
4 UNC (Byrd)

This makes the most sense for travel. Having the QFs in Indy at an NFL stadium is so stupid.
