That's why I stand by my earlier prediction: I think they'll find some way to downgrade Gonzaga to an #8-9 seed, and send Stanford there, rationalizing that it may violate their "no early rematches" principle, as well as screw the Bulldogs out of a deserved higher seed, but it keeps Stanford "geographically close", as if the 1000 mile flight to Spokane to face an underseeded team playing at home is somehow dramatically preferable to a 2500-mile flight to Tallahassee to face a true #8-9 seed on a neutral court.
