Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2543825, member: 716"] Based on memory and a quick review (a horrible automatic-bid 14-loss Arkansas team in 2000, for example), I think it's been uncommon for all big-league schools to get double-digit seeds. There were a couple sprinkled in here and there, but historically for the most part a school from a good conference either got a single-digit seed or wasn't in the field at all. Now that we've got four more spots in the field and this new play-in system, we're seeing a lot more mediocre P5 teams getting 10 and 11 seeds. And the 11s are reserved for that type of team. So that's why we're new to this. If there had been 68 teams in 1997 and 2007, we'd probably have been a 10 in those years, too. [/QUOTE]
