NOTES:
  • Teams in bold are projected automatic qualifiers.
  • The Seed List is accounting for any/all potential shifts by the committee.  
    • Temple avoids the First Four and moves to the 12 line from a H2H loss against VCU.
  • After the Top 16 teams are set, I assign the highest 5 seed to match with the lowest 4 seed, then work clockwise.  The next seed line progresses counter-clockwise, then loops until completion.
  • Possible rematches are avoided when placing teams into the bracket.
