The bracket is designed to theoretically give the top seeds the easiest path to the championshipI disagree with your premise. I believe the bracket is set up to give the number 1 seed a path where they don't have to face the second or third best team until the Elite 8. If they are the number 1 seed, they should be able to beat the 8th seed and the 4th seed.
There is no reason to cater to Villanova by having them face USC instead of Wisconsin. Especially when, hypothetically speaking, USC was better than the 6 seed, so they would be tougher than the 8 seed.
