Disclaimer: these are not burning questions, and if you'd rather just bask in the glow of a fantastic national championship game, skip this message. So, I noticed that BC got to be the "home team" (last line change and white jerseys) because they were a 3E seed and Michigan a 4W, even though Michigan was higher in the pairwise. Presumably they fall back on the pairwise if identical seeds meet in the final. (This would be an interesting point if teams that were shifted from their natural seeds for pairing purposes met in the Frozen Four.) And why was Michigan allowed to wear their Maize jerseys in both games? Didn't the NCAA decree this season that light colored jerseys could only be worn in place of white ones, and not dark? Or did the fact that this was a neutral site game make a difference?
