The metrics (rpi, rankings, etc.) consistently show MSU as a top 5 team and Ole Miss somewhere around 15 to 20, and Miami also around 15 to 20 and Illinois around 30. Simple bracketing principles when 16 teams get seeded as the same number would indicate a high 1 seed gets a low 2 seed and a low 1 seed gets a high 2 seed.
If you're going to say geography trumps that, fine, but both Miami and Illinois were sent to the same geographic area.
People have to stop thinking that anything after #16 matters. If you're a 2, you're a 2, period.
