Seed lines talk, AP walks.

I wonder how many AP voters know Butler is back.

The truth about them is probably somewhere in between. I think they’re probably closer to the 20th-25th best team than the 10th and the AP is overvaluing their W-L record a bit. On the other hand, an 8 seed feels like they’re being punished a little too much for the ACC being weak when they only lost 1 game that they probably shouldn’t have.

The hilarious part of all this is that the NCAA created a fun tool called the NET, whose primary purpose is to seed the tournament. In the NET Louisville is exactly where you suggest, at 24. Clemson is just ahead of them at 22. These numbers seem perfectly reasonably and yet the committee decided to ignore the metric they created in favor of…just doing whatever the **** they want.

If you don't lose, you move up. They kept Louisville down as long as they could, but when you don't lose, the voters have to move you up.

We all know why they haven't been losing.
