Why do I have this sinking feeling that our overall seed will say "Omaha", but the committee will somehow have to make an exception for some other team, and we'll get bumped?
I don't even know if that's something that would be allowed, but how often do those types of things go in our favor?
Because you have your nut cup on too tight - your "they're gonna find a way to screw us" is not how any of this works. You can't "bump" someone out of a regional site to make brackets work; they're assigned by who's closest to the site by availability. If ISU is one of the two highest ranking teams "closest to Omaha" by availability, we go to Omaha regardless of which region we play in - end of story.
