Message: [QUOTE="joct, post: 208378, member: 2001"] They are going to get a huge new criticism: Team A being ranked higher than Team B, but yet seeded worse than Team B due to all of the factors that go into it, or being seeded better but getting a worse travel set up and complaining about that. The bracket is such a puzzle to put together (travel both at the regional and opening weekend level, not having conference teams play until final 8, good distribution across the regions), that the 1-68 rankings end up only one part of the equation. If a team gets a bad draw, knowing that at least they were ranked higher than someone else might make more arguments, not less. [/QUOTE]
