If we beat Duke I could see a final four from that bracket.

Definitely would be the easiest region 4 seed path. I just wouldn't put stock on region placement, even at the end of the season. Committee has an arbitrary, subjective process of making seeding/region placement adjustments based on conference affiliation/avoiding early RD rematches

To be honest, "bracketology" in general is kind of a sham. Mid season they do a weird mix of projecting the season + current resume and don't indicate what they weight more heavily. I don't see any good reason why Lunardi or Jerry Palm are qualified to project basketball season results. At the end of the season, most reasonably knowledgable CBB fans could pick the teams + seedings within 2 for ~90-95+% of the field. It isn't that hard.
