I believe that the committee was quite clear that they were going to limit
travel.  Only the bye teams would be sent to another region regardless of
proximity to the regionals (400 miles)...
Had MSU won, a western team would have been sent out East, and one of the
bottom two teams, I presume (?) would have been shipped west.  I don't
agree with how it was done this year, and think it's an EXTREMELY
unballanced set of regionals.. I'd love to see better games (The western
regionals are going to be sweet) than Cornell/QU and Maine/Harvard (no
offense to those teams) on the first day of the regionals...
BUT it was made clear the way it would be done, after 9/11.. I don't thik
people actually believed it until they saw it drawn out.. last night
