CBS
East - Virginia, Tennessee, Purdue, Kansas, Va.Tech
South - Kentucky, Duke, Michigan, K State, Maryland
MW - UNC, LSU, Texas Tech, Wisconsin, Nevada
west - Gonzaga, Michigan St., Houston, FSU, Marquette
ESPN
East - UVA, Tennessee, Houston, Kansas, Maryland
South - Kentucky, Duke, Michigan, K State, Va. Tech
MW - UNC, Michigan St., T Tech, Wisconsin, Auburn
West - Gonzaga, LSU, Purdue, FSU, Marquette
A conference foe (e.g., Va. Tech) is never on the same side of the bracket as a #1 seed (UVA). Thus in the CBS guesstimate, VT could be switched with either Maryland or Marquette.
One advantage for Maryland is that Michigan St., Purdue, and Michigan all figure to be 2 or 3 seeds, and that means we would be on the other side of the bracket (1,4,5, or 8) in three regions. A #5 seed looks pretty likely, as the bracketologists above have opined. If we win two games in the BTT, we could swap places with Wisconsin.
