Bracket is already out, but as a comparison to how it would look just using the composite computer rankings. As for Big Ten teams, Purdue, Michigan and Ohio State are correctly seeded as a 2, 3 and 5, but MSU is underseeded, should be a 2 also. As for opponents, Purdue and Ohio State got a nice draw, getting CS Fullerton as a 15, when they should be a 16, and Ohio State getting South Dakota State as a 12, when they should be a 13. Conversely, UM and MSU getting opponents as 14s, who should be 13s. Oddly, MSU, UM and OSU are all facing teams who should be 13s. FTR, last time MSU was underseeded based on this, and also faced an underseeded team, we got MTSU, so...
