OT: Bracketology

The actual reality of a Boogs vs Coogs matchup in the tourney is kind of unsettling to me. Kind of sounds neat but I’m not sure I really want it

I have been keeping my fingers crossed for that matchup in Dallas since day 1. Now not only am I still fuming about the performance yesterday, but I see where the basketball gods might ship us to the left coast, and bama is now going to Dallas. Think I will just say F it and go to Vegas instead
 
We will be a 4 seed in Nashville, Charlotte or Dallas, regardless of whatever region we land in. Possible we could get a 3 seed but I don’t buy it. First round games aren’t tied in to regionals until set by the selection committee. Lunardi and Palm don’t pay much attention, if any, to the locations right now. Go back and look at last year’s bracket. Teams were much closer to home than the experts’ current projections.

Repost from Bama game thread. Makes more sense here.

Here are your 3-5 seeds last year with first round locations:

3 Seeds:
Baylor - Tulsa (350 miles)
Oregon - Sacramento (475)
UCLA - Sacramento (375)
Florida State - Orlando (260)

4 Seeds:
Florida - Orlando (115)
Purdue - Milwaukee (220)
Butler - Milwaukee (275)
West Virginia - Buffalo (285)

5 Seeds:
Virginia - Orlando (815)
Iowa State - Milwaukee (355)
Minnesota - Milwaukee (335)
Notre Dame - Buffalo (450)

Auburn to Nashville is 300 miles. To Charlotte is 350. And to Dallas is 700. I say we are a 4 seed in Nashville or Charlotte.

Still saying a prayer for Nashville. Gonna be a great day though regardless. South Region at least would be nice with ATL if we survive the first weekend.

If UT beats Kentucky, UT might end up as a 2 seed with the 3 seeds possibly being Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State and Auburn. Surely that would put Auburn in Nashville or Charlotte, right?
 
Sucks for the kids. I'm sure seniors like Maten would want to play at least one more game. But I guess this means all of the assistant coaches are already out of a gig too.
In the article it claims the players didn’t want to play. I don’t buy it
