Let’s say there is a huge year ending tournament that is “seeded” by a committee.
Let’s say seeding is extremely important.
Let’s say your AD is on the committee
Let’s say your record is a very modest 21-11 and you come in a T2nd in the SEC.
Let’s say you get beat in your first game in the SEC Tournament and your #1 rival won the tournament.
Let’s say you have a poor Quad 1 record of 4-10.
Let’s say your #1 rival beat you by 18 at their place and you beat them by 4 at yours.
Let’s say you are rated #14 by KenPom and EvanMiya and your #1 rival is rated #4 and #3.
Let’s say you lost 4 of your last 6 games and your #1 rival won their last 6 games.
Let’s say you are somehow given a 4 seed and your #1 rival is also given a 4 seed.
So would you say it is a coincidence that your team gets seeded in the easiest bracket and your eventual game against a #1 seed is the easiest #1 seed and your #1 rival is seeded against the #1 ONE seed ?
Is it a coincidence that the #2 seed in your bracket has lost 8 games AND you have already played them ?
Is it a coincidence that your S16 opponent is someone you have already played ?
Or would you say it is a fact that your AD made sure you were put into this bracket ?
