I don’t get why Stanford has to play the 8 when two unranked teams play each other for a spot.

I’d assume that you want to seed it so that the best remaining 8 teams have the best chance to advance.

This way, one of 8/9 is out for sure and an unranked team is in for sure.

Won’t matter though. Tennessee will play Arkansas for the title.

It’s a 1-64 bracket. The unseeded teams were the survivors of their pods. It’s a 12-13 ncaa tourney game. It’s still a perfect tournament. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 06:30 1
- I was under the impression that it reseeded or at least reorganized for the super regionals. - Volnelk Jun 11, 06:42
