Oregon as a 12

[STEVEHOLT]

Worst seeding decision by a committee ever?

The team that really gets screwed by this is OK State. No way they should have to play a team that is 4-0 vs the top 30 in the first round

Said the same thing but if they made Oregon a 7 seed like they deserved then the beloved Dukies or one of the other 2's would be in danger in the 2nd round.

It's even more funny that Colorado is a 10 seed vs Oregon as a 12. Same conference, 26-8 record vs 21-11

Worst seeds of alltime IMO were Villanova as a 2 seed in 2010 with a 23-7 record which got smoked by St. Mary's in the 2nd round when they barely survived Robert Morris in the first round in OT and Tennessee as a 2 seed with a 21-7 record in 2006 when they got smoked in the 2nd round by Wichita State.
However, Oregon got ROYALLY underseeded and I said last nite it was a joke when the committee compared Colorado and Oregon. The committee could have switched Oregon and Cal and atleast avoided a Cal-UNLV rematch, but that would have been too much work.

Most seeds were close to consensus (same or one off)... except for te Ducks. 4 seeds off - brutal.

oregon was actually an 11 seed on there ranking had to move them though to have the play in round teams not traveling to san jose to play 1 day later.

they were the #2 in Duke's region. Another case of the committee protecting their beloved dukies

I wouldn't consider them protected this year. That bracket is tough.

Loved Saint Louis heading into the tourney, until I saw they would have to play "#12" Oregon in the next round.

Just couldn't take them in our Calcutta last night.
