We all know what actually happened... and it wasn't perfect. Let's forget about who didn't get in and talk about where teams are playing. If this is supposed to be a pod system, explain the 3 seeds to me. #3 Villanova basically plays at home, while other #3s travel hundreds of miles... Syracuse to Miami, Kansas to Minneapolis, and Missouri to Boise. Then #8 Ohio State plays in Dayton, OH. #4 Gonzaga (Spokane, WA) plays in Portland. It doesn't make sense to me.
