2760512, They locked the seed lines on Friday.

So Saturday and Sunday basically don't count. Same reason why Texas A&M isn't in, but Notre Dame somehow is.

This is completely insane, of course, and I'd love for them to overhaul this whole bullshit. Because every year, a team that wins a huge game Saturday or Sunday is stupidly underseeded. It wouldn't be that hard to change! But they never do it. It's so insanely lazy.

Like, they clearly thought Princeton would beat Yale, so they put them as a 14 seed. Then, when Yale won, they just slotted Yale as a 14... even though Yale is clearly a 15 seed strength at best.

I'm grateful that we're the benefactor of this horseshit, especially in K's final year, and how it gives us a more favorable first round draw. But it's very clearly horseshit, and it just seems to be getting worse every year.
