I don't understand some of the seeding. Duke is a 6? USC a 5? Stanford an 11 seed? They shouldn't have even earned a bid.
Personally I am fine with an 8 seed. But playing as an 8 seed in Xavier's backyard? It seems kind of low based on all of the projections as well. I thought a 7 for UNLV was kind of a low seed.

The MVC gets love because their conference RPI is high, because the perform in the tournament (or at least have lately) and because, especially this year they had a bunch of great out of conference wins, which is noticeably lacking in some of the BCS schools resumes.
I was absolutely furious when I saw that we got an 8. I was not surprised. What is truly outrageous though is UNLV as a 7, Creighton with a 10, while Vanderbilt has a 6, USC has a 5, Virginia has a 4. I wonder why they even try to appear as if they are objective. Clearly they are not.
