haha...you seem a bit sensitive. I asked a simple question in the original post, which nobody could answer. If you perceived that as "whiny", well, I can't help that.
Every talking head said, as recently as late afternoon today, that SU was a lock for a #1 seed, and that the "fourth" #1 seed was likely between Duke and West Virginia. Just seemed like a strange turn of events.
With the S-Curve, yes, the rankings amongst a partcular seed do make a difference (e.g. the first #1 seed plays the worst #2 seed, the best #3 seed, etc.).
