Message: [QUOTE="PoppyHart, post: 178698, member: 515"] I don't look at it at special tratment. I think the committee is charged with identifying the best teams in country and seeding them accordingly. If they think a team, on March 12th or whenever is one of the 20 best teams in the country, they would get a top-5 seed. It's as simple as that. If Harrison Barnes missed the first 9 games, for example, and UNC lost all of them, and then he returned and went undefeated, they would get a 1-2 seed imo, not the 8-9 seed that the record would typically dictate. To do otherwise would completely distort the competitive balance of the bracket. People are too caught up in absolute win-loss records, imo, and not in comparing teams relative strengths. [/QUOTE]
