Not that matters anyway. The brackets are set, let March Madness begin!

They keep regions in mind though, so it's not perfect... it's obvious why they would want Duke in the south with Kentucky, and MU couldn't have gone to the East since OSU wasn't going to be in MSU's region. I had a couple of the shows on earlier, and I do remember them saying something about keeping teams close to home... and that's always part of it. They tend ship the 4th #1 and then reward the top #2 with region (as a consolation for not being a 1 seed), and try to keep others close to home. Since it was Midwest/East heavy this year, it was obviously hard to do.
