2/21 bracket and thoughts

Things got a little hairy bracketing around the 11 line, when I had to juggle BYU's needs along with the needs of the First Four and the fact that two of them were Big 12 teams.  I'm not thrilled about some things in the bracket:
- I sent Cincy to Buffalo to help alleviate a logjam in the midwest.
- A few disadvantages on the 3 line - Creighton has SFA in San Antonio, 'Nova has to play NCCU in Raleigh, and Iowa St gets Mercer in Orlando.
There's some rematches that I just couldn't avoid:  Baylor could get Kentucky again in the round of 64 (unavoidable because of the mess that BYU caused), Cincy/Xavier in the round of 32.

I want to see how the committee handles conference rematches - they have flexibility in the rules to actually create more conference clashes in the tourney, but will have the option to still avoid them when possible.  But to do that, they would need to geographically disadvantage some teams.  Interesting to see which lines the NCAA will take on that.
