One seed in Birmingham. Go ahead and take my money now.

Why does our bracket say Birmingham and Houston in the west say the same?
The first and second round host sites are no longer attached to a certain region.
In other words, the Birmingham games are no longer required to be tied to the Southeast region.
In fact, they could be from 2 other regions, say 4 teams assigned to the West, and 4 teams from the East region.

Do they let you play fewer games as a 1 seed?
Look at the odds of advancing by tournament seed and you tell me?
Odds to reach sweet 16:
1 seed: 85.4%
2 seed: 63.2%
3 seed: 52.1%
4 seed: 46.5%
If lock up a #1 seed you are almost guaranteed to make the sweet 16.
In fact your odds of reaching the final four (41%) as a 1 seed are almost the same as the odds of a 4 seed reaching the sweet 16.
Just going from a 1 to a 2 seed drops your odds of reaching the final four in half (41% vs 20.8%) and if you drop down to a 3 seed it’s even worse (41% vs 11.8%).
So if you can get the 1 seed you take it every time.
