Brackets - game locations

[txcane80]

How are they chosen in terms of where each team plays? I see that CBS has us in Lexington as a #1 seed... why not Austin or somewhere else? How is this determined? Can the #1 seed play in Austin or is it set at Lexington? Thanks.

There's a ranking of the 4 #1 seeds. The top overall seed goes to a set location, the #2 1 seed goes to a set location and so on.

Sometimes they claim they take school's location into account, but often it's random

Is this ranking published? Is it like a draft?

The committee will say who the #1 overall seed was, and so forth, but it's not made known until after the entire selection.

It is pretty random, so published ranking won't matter. We won't have any idea where UM will go until they announce it that Sunday. I just moved outside Austin, so I am hoping the Canes get the regional at UT.

Sorry - what I meant was are the location seedings known at the time? Like who has the right to the #1 1 seed, the #2 1 seed, etc...

Top seeds are traditionally placed into their closest locales for the first weekend. Miami doesn't have a closest locale, so it would be a flip between Lexington, Austin or Philadelphia. If the other #1 seeds were Duke, UK and Texas, we would get frozen out of all of those as they would get their "home location" and we would wind up in Auburn Hills or some ****.

The first weekend locations and second weekend locations are NOT linked. Those are merely predictions by bracketologists. This means that if Duke is the last #1 seed, they might get Philadelphia for the first weekend, but could get sent to Los Angeles, CA for the second weekend.
