    I also have a hard time envisioning the committee disregarding the NCAA's rules about building the bracket to maximize bus trips in the 1st and 2nd round. We all hate the early round regionalization but I don't think that means the committee is going to break the rules to appease us. If SDSU is unseeded and UND makes the field they're playing each other for the right to come to Fargo next.

    This. No way we don't get SDSU or UND. Who else could they bus here in the second round?

    Theyve avoided bus trips in 2nd rd before. Didnt send UNI to SDSU last year or Nova or Richmond to JMU in 16. Both under 400. They still need to fill out what looks like 4 West seeds.

    They didn't send SDSU to NDSU in 2013 either so you're right that maybe there is a chance they won't but I'll believe it when I see it.

    That year the options to match up with EWU were either the winner of SDSU v. Northern Arizona or the winner of Southern Utah v. SHSU and SHSU was a bus trip to SELa. I think every other team that played the first weekend was in the Eastern Time Zone.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
