Wow. I must have done something to the committee. Did I bump into them and not say excuse me yesterday? Have I wronged them in some way?
That is the only explanation for Butler's seed. A seven. That means Purdue, USC (11 losses), and Oklahoma (double-digit losses) are better than them in the committee's mind. Butler should have been a five seed. The tourney committee obviously doesn't have any hometown bias. There is no Indiana team with a seed 4 or better. All of the teams were ranked, however.
That being said, I am going to be an uber-homer in my bracket. I can see Butler and Notre Dame playing in the Elite 8. Notre Dame matches up perfectly with North Carolina, and Butler can get South Alabama (shouldn't have been in the tourney) and Tennessee (struggled lately). Butler and Louisville would be a good game of two teams pretty similar. If Butler and Notre Dame met in the Elite 8, I would pass out from confusion. Who to root for? That would be a great problem to have, as one of my two favorite teams would be in the tournament.

I agree. I also thought Butler's seed was low. I expected them to be seeded higher.

I also agree. I thought that Wisconsin should've gotten a #2 seed, not #3.

The bubble-Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Southern Illinois, Texas Tech, Florida State, and they beat Valpo, Wright State, and Cleveland State in conference. Of course, they have 3 losses, all to top 100 teams. How can a 3 loss team be that low?

The picks go in the message board.
GOAT-Kansas is notable for choking, but their region is a cupcake. They got lucky in whom they will play. Wisconsin is their toughest opponent.

Wisconsin is even MORE notorious for choking than Kansas is though....
