thank God for numeric rankings to help sort out what we should do.

it prevents teams like Appalachian State from having to face the likes of, say... Michigan.

The point of the Bracket Buster is to put together teams with similar RPIs and hopefully give a bubble team a chance to make a statement.

The point of the Bracket Busters from ESPN's perspective is to create an event to attract eyeballs (i.e. financial benefits). They'll do what they deem best regardless of what the schools prefer.

Butler at Davidson will draw more than Liberty at Davidson.

If you only promote the school names sure...but if they play up the "Curry Vs Curry" in the promo theres no way Butler Vs Davidson would be a must watch game for anyone
