Official S-Curve released by Selection Committee for 2012

This was the first year that the Selection Committee released their official "S-Curve".  This is the ranking of teams 1-68 prior to attempting to place each of them into the bracket.  Due to rules about matchups that can't happen, the committee is sometimes forced to move teams around slightly.  For example, they might swap a 4 seed and a 5 seed in order to avoid matching up 2 conference opponents in the first round.

Here is the official S-Curve from the Committee:
01) Kentucky
02) Syracuse
03) North Carolina
04) Michigan State
05) Kansas
06) Duke
