Feb 18 Bracket

This is my first post since the committee released their top 16 last week, and it was tough. I was having a lot of trouble with the ACC, SEC and Big 12 schools getting in each others' way. I'm not thrilled that the lower half of the Boston bracket has three ACC schools, with a possible Clemson-NC State matchup in the second round. Fortunately, this is just a weekly projection and not the Bracket Matrix's "final exam!" I'm also wondering if the protected seeds in the regions are "balanced" enough. I don't think the balance is too bad, but I also know it's not quite as balanced as the committee's was. That's what happens when you have 15 on the committee and not just one.

I'll try to correct these things next week.
