Which side of bracket may also have to do with IIRC their preference that those in same conference who are 1 seeds do not play one another until National Championship?

Yes, I think that comes into play. Stanford, USC, and UCLA are all in different regionals. Iowa, Ohio St, and Indiana in different regionals, etc. So that factored into us getting LSU as our 2. 

Texas is the only top-10 team that's still playing. If they lose, maybe they would drop below LSU, and LSU might move over to USC's regional. Fingers crossed.
