Basically this is a logic puzzle. First you have to figure out the minimum number of first-round flights (in this case it's 2). Then the minimum number of potential second-round flights without increasing the first-round flights (it's 4). Only then can you worry about rematches.

I don't get moving Tiffin to SR3.

And with the new guidelines, there's not really such a thing as "moving" the 5-7 seeds to different regions (except those in via earned access, which in this case is no one). It isn't assumed that those teams should stay in their home region; preserving the matchups that would have taken place under the old system is literally the last criterion listed.
Tiffin is the only road team within driving distance of both Indianapolis (1st rd) and Ferris State (2nd rd), so their placement in the bracket is ideal.

But I do appreciate the perspective on the 5-7 teams no longer being part of their native region once seedings begin. I hadn't thought of it like that.

True, but it seems the longer travel burden merely got shifted to Carson-Newman in both the first and second rounds.
