The selection committee for the NCAA Tournament says that it doesn't consider specific matchups when they're seeding teams and placing them in the four brackets. It seems hard to believe that when each year brings games with geographical rivals or coaches who have worked together in the past squaring off. This year, you've got 
There's going to be a lot of sweating on Selection Sunday. Virginia Commonwealth got added to the at-large bubble mix over the weekend. Just as Ohio State, Kentucky, Syracuse, Ole Miss, Oregon, Dayton and UNLV improved their standings.
