How it's Done:
- Adjust 1-4 from the Bracket Preview.
- Re-evaluation of 5-12 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.
- Assign teams to other regions to avoid possible rematches.
- Adjust for Duke bias.
Opinion:
- First Four Out: Oklahoma, Cincinnati, Stanford, Arkansas
- Committee will decide bubble by Road Wins.
