East coast cupcakes playing each other in the first round is always gonna happen with regionalization, every playoff team has to put up with that.
Sac St wasn't that tough a draw, especially at home. They got beat pretty handily at SD the next week.
Ok, let's look at how legitimate top 16 teams would fall into that category. Top 8 teams get first round bye. Shouldn't 9 thru 16 seeds win at least one playoff game? I know upsets happen but it seems like the upsets are always happening the other way with Bubba.
