George Mason Bracketology Part III - Could the Patriots be wearing white jerseys in round 1?

It's no longer starting to look crazy to believe that George Mason could be the higher seed in their 1st round NCAA tournament game.  If they do well this weekend in the CAA tournament, there is not doubt in my mind that they get be given a #7 or #8 seed this year. Some fans are hoping for a #7 just to avoid a possible 2nd round match with a #1 seed. Tell me it doesn't really matter considering most experts can't even agree on four #1 seeds at the moment proving the difference begin this year's #1's and #2's is going to be very marginal. 

Take a look at Andy Glockner's latest bracket projection from SI.com.  He has the Patriots lined up to have to have a possible 2nd round game against Duke in Charlotte. I think it would be difficult for most local Mason fans to find an excuse not to drive down for that one.
