[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 1005330, member: 4110"] I really don't have a horse in this race, but I see both sides. I agree that the seedings are based on a statistical algorithm and that the committee has pretty much stuck to the output of that process. So, in that regard there is no bias. However, the selection and seeding algorithm is supposed to be predictive. I think the results are questionable. Much of the selection and seeding processes are dependent of strength of schedule. It is suspicious that the conferences with all the money seem to be rewarded in pay-out to a greater degree than the tournament outcomes should suggest. This does smack of bias / corruption. The statistical algorithm could be the product of financial interests to maintain their standing and to maximize their revenues. This would not be the first instance in which the powerful control the system to increase their power. [/QUOTE]
