If the NCAA Tournament bracket was put into a "S" curve strictly using today's NET rankings, this is a rough idea what the bracket would look like. Note, to avoid a 1st-round matchup of teams from the same conference (Saint John's vs. Butler), #39 Butler and #40 Belmont flipped opponents.
The #47 Gophers currently are in the field as one of the "last 4 in".

#32 Lipscomb vs. #33 Kansas State

#16 Indiana vs. #49 Penn
#17 Louisville vs. #48 (UCF/Florida winner)
Columbus
