How it's Done:

• Adjust 1-4 from the Bracket Preview.
• List all current conference leaders and "select" them as the projected winners.
• Referencing NET and KenPom, find the lowest ranked automatic bid and place at 68.
• Work backwards to the last remaining 12 seed.
• Fill 5-12 by some algorithm (in my head) of AP, NET, KenPom, and Sagarin.
• Sort 5-16 by Team Sheets.
• Balance 8-9 to avoid possible rematches.
• Adjust for Duke bias.

Opinion:

• Keep local teams away from Dayton!
