Big Ten NCAA Seedings

I can't believe it. I can't decide who got screwed the worst. MSU being a 1 was a foregone conclusion. I thought Purdue would be a 3. Indiana a 3 or 4. Maryland a 4. Iowa a 6 until seeing the brackets. Now I think they could have been a 5.
 
Looks like RPI played a big factor, as those RPI figures appear to really play to seed for a lot of teams. Big 12 and Pac 12 got a little overrated, Big 10 a little underrated IMO.
 
Yeah, I thought the B10 generally got hosed on seeding. Most everyone was at least 1 lower than I expected, except maybe Wisconsin.

ISU at a 4 seed.. A little surprised at that one, too. The committee loves them some Big XII.

UK at a 4? Interesting as well. Thought a 3 for them.

All the teams I thought were equal to iowa got 4 and 5 seeds. We got a 7.
 
The B1G was vastly under seeded and the PAC 12 way over seeded USC and Oregon State should have been in play in games or not included at all. Colorado probably should have been a 10 or 11. Hope the B1G doesn't play poorly now.

I mean you ******* kidding me Indiana, Purdue and Maryland all have Top 16 RPI and not one can get to the 3rd Ranked Conference in the country to the 3 or 4 seed line. That's complete BS!!!

I know IU had an easier conference schedule compared to others and not as many big wins, but the B10 regular season champ at a 5 seed? That's unheard of.
 
I can't believe the committee once again loves the big 12. They clearly didn't learn their lesson from last year

Yeah, Oregon St. as a 7.. I was under the impression they were a bubble team.

We screwed MSU bad. If we wouldn't have fallen apart, 2 of their 5 losses would be to a top 10 team.
 
Virginia doesn't win conference or tourney and is a one? Ridiculous.

DM has some good round 2 games potentially. Three bluebloods with lots of fans that travel. No cheap tickets.

MSU at 11 in rpi probabably makes it a little tough to give them a 1 seed.

What about all the other variables? BPI? Rankings? All the other statistical mumbo jumbo out there? Say what you will, I am having trouble with the seedings and selections this year.
