Well to be fair, in that system, Duke could've drawn Louisville earlier since it wasn't the AQ but yah.

Yeah, I don't think that would be too well received. But it'd be fun to watch...from a neutral perspective at least. Would suck as a fan if you're team had to play a really good team on the first day and lost.

Yeah that format sounds terrible, especially for consistently good teams like Duke.

IF this means getting rid of the whole bracketing non 1-seeds according to the geographical proximity principle and replacing with a true s-curve (subject to adjustments to avoid early round matchups from teams in the same conference), then cool.

I don't get why conference teams can't play each other in early rounds. If the S Curve is correct, then they should just play the friggin games. If there are going to be 16 team conferences with 8-10 bids, then let 'em play whenever. It's not 1988 anymore.
