NCAA tricky geographical coincidence for 2025 regionals

[Regionals]

So Towson is out, but the Penn State issue remains because Rutgers is in.

CGN has Rutgers going to Tuscaloosa, but I think it could WVU instead depending on the criteria used since they have to break a rule anyway.

If they move the lowest ranked team, it will be WVU

CGN has this projected bracket:

After CGN said that UCLA might rather be in Salt Lake City than Tuscaloosa so they don’t have to beat Alabama at home, Stanford goes ahead and wins the ACC championship.

I think UCLA would rather face Alabama than a Stanford team that seems to be on the same peaking trajectory as last season.

 

[irichluck21]

I would agree. Stanford seems to have a higher peak score than Alabama.
Stanford's high 197.775 is better than Alabama's 197.650. Both being away scores.

I think being ranked 8/9 is the worst. I always seem to want both in, and both feel deserving.

Im going to go with never wanting to be in the host team's regional when the host is in that 10-14 seed range. Whether home cooking, home crowd or just advantage of familiarity its a huge wildcard.

 

[Regionals]

Didn’t know where else to put this, but there’s a coincidental connection to the top and bottom of the regional field this year.

The last year Oklahoma did not head into regionals ranked #1 was the same year Rutgers and UC Davis last made regionals- 2014.

That is going to royally piss off Oklahoma.

 

[Orange]

Oklahoma might not be too upset because being the two seed means they are on the easier side of the bracket. If the seeds hold that LSU, Utah, UCLA, and Michigan State semifinal is going to be a bloodbath.

 

[Regionals]

This live selection show is something else! The teams have to sit there captive and listen to what John and Sam are saying about them.

 

[irichluck21]

Rutgers, not West Virginia go to Alabama. Will face Clemson on play in.

 

[irichluck21]

This is going to be a FUN semi-final.

 

[Regionals]

I wonder if Clemson was never going to have a watch party, or the producers mercifully decided not to show them.

 

[irichluck21]

Clemson is probably unhappy they were geographically linked to Alabama as host and got hosed being 27 and having to do play in due to Utah and Penn State having so many play in and bubble teams getting geographically locked in as well.
