It's a good point, for the people that are whining about Kentucky's seed.  The committee already had to make contingencies for the B10 title game -- they were not going to make additional contingencies for Kentucky keeping it close on top of the B10 game -- you are going from 2 scenarios to 4 scenarios.   It's unreasonable to expect that many contingencies especially to make room for a middle of the bracket team.
 
They just locked it in as a loss from my perspective.   I expected them to get locked at 6/7 before final game to give Kentucky a cushion in case they won or kept it close, but it seems the committee just marked them for a loss.   If you are a mid bracket team, you are not going to get any contingencies.
 
CBS is a rush to get those seeds announced by 6 o'clock and to have the selection show immediately after a basketball broadcast.   They don't want a big break and they most certainly do not want non-basketball programming in between a game and the Selection show.    CBS demands their seeds by no later than 5:30 so it can prepare, and yet has a game running at the time.
