The NCAA committee….pathetic 

I wouldn't say that necessarily.  Sometimes years go like this and sometimes it's chalk all over the place.  This feels like the first year Florida won it all when a I think the Final Four had a 2, a 3, a 4, and an 11.

Good gravy.  The committee that picks and seeds the teams needs to be done away with.  Robots deserve to run this tournament.  Humans are morons.  Turn us into batteries already…

SEED	FIN AL FOUR	CHAMP GAME	NATIONAL CHAMP
1	60	37	24
2	32	12	5
3	17	12	4
4	13	3	1
5	7	3	0
6	3	2	1
7	3	1	1

13	0	0	0
14	0	0	0
15	0	0	0
16	0	0	0

 

First column is seed.  Second row is how many have made the Final Four, third column is how many have made the Title game...last is how many have won the title.  This is since 1985.

 

I'd say the seeds usually mean alot.

With the transfer rules as they are, a lot of this is moot.

Okay, so the transfer portal began in October 2018.  Let's throw out the 2019 champion then because it was probably too late to change many rosters, given the season started in early November.

Then 2020 was the covid cancelled tournament.

 

2021 (1) Baylor defeated (1) Gonzaga

2022 (1) Kansas defeated (8) North Carolina  (But really that UNC team was not exactly a Cinderella given their blue blood status...more like a talented team that figured it out late in the season)

 

Doesn't seem much different to me.

The no sit* transfer portal. 

 

And as far as your UNC argument, I could make the argument that they were seeded just right given they didn't even make the cut this year

Nah, that UNC squad this season was one of the biggest busts in the history of college basketball.  I'm not even kidding.  It was a super talented roster that was ranked #1 to begin the season.  It'd be like if Alabama football struggled to a 7-5 campaign.  They just never figured it out.  I lay a lot of the blame on Hubert Davis.
