1/20 bracket and thoughts

1) Note the procedural bumps.  I have 2 SEC teams in the First Four, and one of the only possible sites to send them to was a site with Kentucky looming.  Basically, a bracketing disaster was afoot.  I had to apply the NCAA's new rule that allows conference matchups earlier in the tournament several times.  Lots of jockeying.
2) I toyed briefly with the idea of Tennessee/Arkansas in a first four matchup.  It would've solved a lot of seeding issues.  I doubt the NCAA goes for it, however.
3) Remember when New Mexico got put into Gonzaga's bracket last year, based on geography and not S-Curve?  A similar dynamic is emerging with Arizona and SDSU this year.
4) I took creative license with the regional sites.  My 4 line goes Iowa/Kentucky/Duke/Ohio St.  Just going by strict seeding, I would've sent Iowa to Raleigh, Kentucky to Orlando, and Duke across the country to San Diego or Spokane.  Therefore, since Iowa had to travel a bunch no matter what, I made the executive decision to send Iowa went instead of Duke.
5) I have 3 Big 12 teams as 3 seeds and another 2 as 6 seeds.  That seeding line adjustment is literally impossible to avoid.  Virginia is the benefactor in this particular bracket.
