Did my final scrub...I think I'm settling on this:
The 1 line: Villanova (31-3), Kansas (28-4), Gonzaga (32-1), Duke (27-8)
The 2 line: Arizona (30-4), North Carolina (26-7), Kentucky (28-5), Baylor (24-7)
The 3 line: Oregon (28-5), Louisville (24-8), UCLA (29-4), Butler (23-8)
The 4 line: Florida St (25-8), Florida (24-8), West Virginia (26-8), Notre Dame (25-9)
Here's my theory on that 1 line: the committee thinks Arizona is more deserving, but decides that Arizona is better served as the 2 in the west, instead of the 1 in the south opposite Duke. So I think they pull an executive order here.
The roulette wheel landed on Butler for the 3 line. I'm probably going to be wrong but I'm guessing signature wins will carry the day in the end.
I feel awful about this prediction. Awful.
EAST 33
1) Villanova @Buffalo
2) Baylor @Tulsa
3) Louisville @Indianapolis

SOUTH 35
1) Duke @Greenville
2) Kentucky @Indianapolis
3) Oregon @Sacramento
4) West Virginia @Buffalo
WEST 33

2) Arizona @Salt Lake City
3) Butler @Milwaukee
4) Florida St @Orlando
MIDWEST 35

2) North Carolina @Greenville
3) UCLA @Sacramento

Everything ended up pretty balanced on this front.
