The video begins with a discussion of the format. Power 4 conference champions earn automatic bids and earn a bye with a top-four seeding. How the Group of 5 teams and at-large selections fit into the bracket are discussed.

The No. 5 or No. 6 seed is in a unique position. Do they prefer the bye or do they like the fact that they are able to possibly beat up on a G5 team?

The first round presents opportunities for home games at on-campus stadiums. A night game at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line? Imagine that across the nation.
