NCAA Tournament Seedings

All right. Here is my first crack at trying to seed teams for the NCAA Tournament. I'm sure I've missed something as there are a few rules when seeding, such as conference opponents cannot play each other in the first couple of rounds. So I've attempted to follow that, and hopefully I've created matchups that follow NCAA Tournament rules in terms of the pairings. At very least I've given each team a seed 1-16 (whether they end in that exact matchup or region is another story all together).

I started by ranking the teams 1-65, which was difficult by itself. Than I snaked through the seedings for each four regions. From there, I tried to move a few teams around to make pairings follow NCAA guidelines, and hopefully I pulled that part off.

Anyway, here are the projected seeds and match ups.
