Some of these bubble teams that are currently on the wrong side could get in with a win against UK. UK clobbering everybody isn't going to help the SEC get more teams in

Those are "pods" designed to limit travel for higher seeded teams, particularly in earlier rounds. So duke gets to play in Charlotte and Arizona in Portland in the opening two rounds.

But since duke is the lowest rated #1 seed in this edition of bracketology, they are shipped out west for the regional (sweet 16 and elite 8).

Those directions you are seeing, (east, west, south, and Midwest) are where the regionals are located. We will be a pretty low seed and will have no impact on where we play. We got shipped west in 2011 as well.

Right, I get that. Just didn't know how valid it was that those cities were assigned to those regions. Apparently not very. Would be nice to actually be within traveling distance for a UGA tourney game but beggars can't be choosers. I'll just be happy with an appearance.

No it's perfectly valid and something like that is almost definitely going to happen.

Those sub regional pods are not tied to the regionals at all so it's not set in stone if that's what you mean.

I see that CBS has LSU 9. Terrible. plays the 1 if they win.

the Lunardi 11-11 is better because you play the 6 if you win.

True...Tenn made a sweet 16 run after being in the play in last year.

Idea is that the higher seed you are the more likely you are to advance to the next round. But yeah being an 11 seed isn't awful if you get to the round of 32
