2/24 BRACKET

In today's edition of Fuck You, BYU:
- BYU is on the 7 line.  Each 7 seed feeds into at least one Friday/Sunday location.
- Move BYU down a line?  Nope.  Each 8 seed either feeds into a Friday/Sunday location, or directly in front of Gonzaga.
- Move BYU up a line?  There's a spot in St Louis on the 6 line available.
- Great!  Except for Butler.  See, there's 3 Big East teams on the 3 line, and now since BYU took St Louis, there's nowhere for Butler to go.  Therefore, despite being the highest 6 seed, Butler gets sent careening down a seed line.  Not great.  I could actually see the committee moving them to the 5 line in this scenario, sending Iowa to the 6 line and Wisky to the 7 line.

Elsewhere, I'm not a fan of what I did with the 4 line (neither Oregon nor Colorado get the west region, geography in general is wonky), but the brackets needed to be balanced.  Again, this is something to watch with SDSU.  The committee's job gets so much easier if they just make SDSU #5 overall and park them in Gonzaga's west region.
