The "Discuss our seeding and path to the Final Four" Thread

True. But we never would have been anyway because our default region followed KU.

Geography is considered before the S-Curve. They will adjust to balance the regions after if necessary, but they go geography first.

That's not a hard rule though, the committee does try to keep teams close to home where possible

2. The committee will then place the No. 2 seeds in each region in true seed list order. The committee may relax the principle of keeping teams as close to their area of natural interest for seeding teams on the No. 2 line to avoid, for example, the overall No. 5 seed being sent to the same region as the overall No. 1 seed. The committee will not compromise the principle of keeping teams from the same conference in separate regions.

That's the opposite of what I've read. It doesn't matter. Seems KU was #3 not #4 this year, so some of this got muddled.
