Help.  As the season winds down, I'm trying to remember the implications 
of who'll be assigned where in the NCAA tournament and can't remember 
the rules.  Can someone help with these?

(1) Looking at today's PWR (below) as if it were final, would first 
seeds be apt to be assigned to regionals as follows:  BU, Manchester;  
Notre Dame, Grand Rapids; Michigan, Bridgeport; Denver, Minneapolis?

(2) Are pairings for the semifinal games in Washington predetermined 
according to regional champions?  If so, what are they?

_PWR on 2/22/09:_
1    Boston University   
2t    Notre Dame    RPI = .5828
2t    Michigan    RPI =  .5706
4t    Denver    RPI =  .5595
4t    Vermont    RPI =  .5582

_2009 Regionals:_
Northeast Regional: Verizon Wireless Arena, Manchester, New Hampshire 
(March 28-29)
East Regional: Bridgeport Arena at Harbor Yard, Bridgeport, Connecticut 
(March 27-28)
West Regional: Mariucci Arena, Minneapolis, Minnesota (March 28-29)
Midwest Regional: Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Michigan (March 27-28)

Thanks for your help.
