I think you're right, but I'd switch Virginia and Duke.
I think the selection committee will rate them 1-UK, 2-Villanova, 3-Duke, 4-Wisconsin, 5-Virginia, 6-Arizona (or flip them with Virginia), 7-Gonzaga, 8-Kansas, 9-Notre Dame (or flip them with Kansas). They'll use Duke's head-to-head wins over Wisconsin and Virginia as the deciding factor, and put Wisconsin ahead of Virginia because of Justin Anderson's iffy status, and because Virginia lost twice in the last 10 days. They'll show some logic by putting Virginia in Syracuse, even if Cleveland is marginally closer. The rest works out geographically, and stays pretty close to an S Curve.You could possibly switch teams like Duke and Wisconsin (if both are 1 seeds), or Kansas and Gonzaga (if both are 2 seeds), but that won't substantially change much about how the regions will look.
Of course, they've done very little to follow sound logic recently, so we're both probably wrong.

Notre Dame as a 2 seed is an interesting prospect. I suspect they keep them at the 3 line but give them the benefit of geography (Midwest). They certainly have as good a case as Kansas.
Jerry Palm thinks our 2 seed will be Iowa State, another interesting but unlikely scenario.
I think it's Kansas or Gonzaga for UK.

Until I see the name KU, Gonzaga or ISU next to our 2 seed I'm going to assume it is "Duke, Virginia or Wisconsin." I just can't trust those committee NCAA Pricks Mandu.
The awful part is by the time they show the 2 seed (I think) we already know who the 8/9, 4 and 5 seeds are...and I'll already no doubt be in a foaming at the mouth frenzy after I see those.
I agree with this. I could see Zaga and Kansas being swapped but this is what I'm predicting as well
I'll also add as I readjust my tinfoil hat and my blanket suit (sporting the same one as Chuck from Better Call Saul) that when the committee announces the 4 1 seeds at the start of the show that if UK fans see the following name announced "And in the West...the Arizona Wildcats!" then prepare yourself for the screw job as that 100% means UK gets Wisconsin, Duke or UVA in their bracket.
Ultimately, I want to believe it will be Gonzaga or KU as our 2 and ND as our 3 no matter what. All freaking out aside, I think that is what it SHOULD/will be. I think.
9.5 hours to go!

I feel very confident that Duke will not be our #2. I think the NCAA really tries to make UK's bracket as tough as possible. I think they try even harder to make Duke's as easy as possible. That means they will not put Duke in our bracket.
Kentucky is overall number 1 seed and will go MW (Cleveland)
Villanova is overall number 2 seed and will go East (Syracuse)
Wisconsin is overall number 3 seed and will go South (Houston)
Duke is overal number 4 seed and will go West (Los Angeles)
Arizona is overall number 5 seed and will go West
Virginia is overall number 6 seed and will go (MW) possibly to (EAST)
Gonzaga is overall number 7 seed and will go (South) possibly to (MW)
Kansas is overall number 8 seed and will go (East) possibly to (South)
I think second seed is where they will move around based off location.

I just do not believe the committee can logically and/or rationally explain to UVA and all of America/the world why they went from the #2 1 seed to being not only screwed by being a 2 seed, but getting put in the Juggernaut Kentucky's bracket.
And Kansas is much more likely to go to the Midwest than you think.

We should have a conspiracy bracket contest for Duke's bracket.
I'll go first.
Duke
Gonzaga
Northern Iowa
Oklahoma
Utah
As I've said all along,out of the 6 teams which are considered potential 1 seeds, 4 of the 6 will be in the MW, W side of the bracket with only Duke and Nova on the South, E side.

In all honesty this is what it SHOULD be. Gonzaga should NOT be a 2 seed even with their pathetic schedule. In your brackets, I assume they stay out west as the west 3?
I swear though if they put all the west coast teams out west that is a cupcake bracket for the 1 seed out there and Arizona as the 2 seed.
