[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 1005477, member: 4110"] Another thought about the seedings: Based on the NCAAT payout system, 75% of the payout is determined in the first weekend. For instance, a conference that got 8 teams in and they lost all 8 first round games would still get as much as a conference that had two school in that played each other in the championship game (each scenario the conference played 8 games that count). So, if you are a conference administrator, what is your strategy to get your conference the most money? Two keys: 1. Get as many at large bids as possible. 2. Don't lose the first game. Do those two things and you are golden. To achieve those things requires the same strategy based on the selection algorithm. Get your conference to be rated highly in the pre-season. This not only is a competitive advantage to get more teams in, BUT it also gives your teams the better seed, which means that you will be facing a weaker opponent in that key first game. Get a weaker oppoenent in game one means that it is more likely to get a second game. Since the payout is for games played, you want the weaker opponents. So, the pre-season rankings are a double whammy, More teams = more games. Weaker opponents = more games. More games = more money. [/QUOTE]
