If seeds are just a popularity contest and not merit based it shouldn't matter if a team gets a relatively lower seed and has to play a relatively higher seed. The higher seed is overseeded anyway, only seeded so high because it is from a "power conference" pretender.

The great thing about basketball is the championship is decided on the court. None of this really matters.
