Keep in mind that the nominal 5-seed is relatively meaningless, since
the seeds were swapped around to avoid intraconference matchups.
They'd still be playing the strongest non-bye team in the regional in
fact the 5 and 6 seeds were switched to preserve that); the only
difference is that if they somehow manage to win, they would play the
1-seed instead of the 2-seed.  So in fact the 5-seed has a tougher
assignment than the 6-seed if the 3- and 4-seeds are swapped.  (Did
anyone follow that?  Maybe I should let Adam explain it...)
