i think i goofed with gtown being in D.C. - i believe they're not allowed to play there as it's been their home throughout the season. oops!

sooo....i think switching duke to D.C. and georgetown to raleigh would be the fix here. and i don't think this screws anything up....

grrrr....i think there's more to it if the rule is that the top two seeds can't both go from raleigh to charlotte...but why not, eh? it's late, i'm tired. i give up. i'll leave it up to the real selection committee now! and i'll also stop commenting on my own blog. :)
