How it's Done:

• Adjust 1-4 from the Bracket Preview.
• Re-evaluation of 5-11 by Team Sheets.
• Bubble consideration for teams with a NET ranking above 65.
• 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.
• Balance the bracket on the "point system" assigned to 1-4.
• Place remaining teams by top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, then snake.
• Re-assign teams to other regions if a rematch would occur.
• Adjust for Duke bias.

Opinion:

• First Four Out: Arkansas, Providence, NC State, UCLA
