Re: The 2014 Pairwise, Bracketology and History Thread`
I believe the 5 team rule is more of a defacto rule in case you have, for example, 3 teams from Conference A as #2 seeds, and 2 teams from Conference A as #3 seeds. In that scenario, you HAVE to have an intra-conference matchup. I would agree with Priceless in this case, and that Minnesota would play New Hampshire. The committee has shown time and time again that if they CAN avoid intra-conference matchups, they will. The only thing set in stone is a #1 seed has to play a #4 seed.
