One of my alma mater with a Cinderella run. Woohoo!

I'm late to the party. I've been trying to avoid the Dynasty forum to prevent myself from wanting to start a dynasty before I have time to do it. Need...to...hold....off....until March

I am going to start following this now. Keep up the great work!

1. Group 58 only has 5 teams, I'm wanting to add a 6th team to that group. The reason is simple, trying to seed the teams 1-128 will be hard, as group 58 plays 2 less games. Adding a team that has already played but not qualified will give teams in group 58 10 games which will make it easier to seed things. But is it fair to give another team a shot? If I leave it at 5 teams for group 58, I'll have to figure out how to seed it with the 2 less games. After all, should a team that goes 8-0 in their group be treated the same as a team that goes 10-0?

2. When it comes to the seedings, should I just leave it alone and play it as it ends up? For instance, say that the group 1 winner and group 1 runner-up are seeded to meet in the first round? Or say 2 teams from the Big 12 are seeded to meet in the first round? Should I tweak things so that doesn't happen? Or should I just let it play out?

Give me your opinions guys, especially you SI since you seem to be the main responder on this dynasty report.

1. Why not just schedule a ninth and tenth game randomly among the teams and say those two extra games(the third match up for teams) are at neutral sites?

2. I say let the seedings stay. Don't worry about the what-ifs of seeding when you have 128 teams. It complicates things.

However, if you WANT to avoid those things, something I did in my NCAA dynasty selection process was to color code alike teams in an Excel file so that I could easily see where they shouldn't match up. You can try that out if you want to separate same-bracket and same-conference teams.
