I don't see an Oregon-Notre Dame match thread. Can someone make at least a basic one ilikecorn @avid coconutcandles or Kingsley ? It's a first-wave match tomorrow. I tried once, but I'm terrible at it. I’m on it  Thank you!! |

For some reason, despite neither conference playing any OOC matches, the committee clearly decided that the Big Ten was higher ranked than the PAC-12, and gave them markedly higher seeds.
What was the result of this? Well, let's see how it turned out.
Big Ten round 2 opponents:
Weber State
Missouri
Texas State
North Carolina A&T
Georgia Tech
High Point
PAC-12 round 2 opponents:
BYU
Pittsburgh
Dayton
Notre Dame
Western Kentucky
==========
I don't know about you, but it sure looks to me like the PAC-12 teams have gotten a significantly harder set of second-round opponents than the Big Ten. I really wish I understood what made the committee decide the Big Ten was so much stronger than the PAC-12, considering they had absolutely no hard data to work with.

To be fair, NC AT was never intended to make it to the second round. You can still make your point by putting an * next to Rices name instead. |

This is a weird way to advance this argument. Weber State, North Carolina AT&T and High Point should be considered upsets. Also, higher seeds should have easier second rounds -- so not sure why you need to pull up the second round opponents to make the argument that B1G was overseeded? Seems a bit circular. |

Does anyone know if the espn app has multiple screens to watch the games like BTN does?
I’ve been watching via sling and they obviously don’t, but I hate hopping game to game! I’m missing too much!!😂

I think the BYU/UCLA and WKU/Washington State matches are my biggest gripes. I had all four of those teams seeded, and they all get seeded below Penn State, which I kind of find difficult to explain. The draws for the other teams are what I expected / very close to Bracketology. Bowling Green/Weber State was the predicted matchup for Wisconsin, and either one was justified and not a surprise (and not an upset, either). I had Utah playing Baylor, so that's a wash. |
