Originally posted by Numbers View PostMain feature of Patronick's bracket is all the Midwestern teams in Cincinnati. I think that is the first thing the committee will do, because that's a friends and family crowd otherwise.
After that, in the east, I think there are several options similar to each other, and the weighing is slight. It will depend on the committee's own preference. The choices are:
Does Prov play in Prov?
If so, do they play Harv or Minn?
Since there are 5 eastern teams available for the 2 regions, do you balance (3-2), or fill one and have Lowell stand alone? In one sense, the last 2 questions go together.LET'S GO UNION DA DA DADADA

I was speaking about these 5 schools, with seedings:
1- Harvard
2- Lowell, BU
3- Cornell
4- Providence
You could put them all, except Lowell, in the Manchester bracket, and fill Providence with the other 4...
Or, you could put Lowell v Cornell in one bracket and the other 3 in the other.
That's the choice.

Re: 2017 Pairwise thread
My bracket is the same as Numbers bracket.
With Ohio State as the 15, Denver stays in Fargo to play Michigan Tech and UMD goes to Cincy to play OSU.
Manchester is slightly tricky with Lowell being the only eastern school there. Maybe AF and Cornell get swapped so there are 2 eastern schools at both Manchester and Providence, but I suspect they will be happy enough with Lowell being nearby and Minnesota and Notre Dame being big enough names to help draw some fans out east.

And on a personal level, this will be the first National Tourney game for Union that I will be unable to attend. I was all set to book my trip to Providence or Manchester, but Fargo/Cincy is not going to happen.
