Seeding to me has always been an issue but how do I finished undefeated in the regular season, finish ranked #1 in the polls and get a 2 seed?

Hopefully you sent your game files to Gary via a Support Ticket. That way he'd be able to look at what actually happened.

It's more about NET rating. Were you #1 there? if so, there's a problem.

I was #2 in net rating.

That would usually make you the #2 overall seed.

I haven't noticed this problem, but If it goes by NET ranking shouldn't the top 4 in NET typically get the four number 1 seeds?

This issue is on the Suggestions List (as it is most every year) and Gary HAS worked on it in the past and improved it some. But I believe that trying to replicate all the considerations that go into the real life NCAA Tourney selection process is pretty tough to do. Personally, I'd rather Gary not spend too much time on this but on other changes. I think there are bigger fish to fry, but that's just my opinion. I don't really want my team playing another team from the same conference in Round 1, but otherwise...que sera sera. If I have a team that I think should be a #1 seed and they're put in as a #2, it just means they get to beat the #2 in Round 4 (hopefully)...LOL. But, like I said, it's on the list (and I understand how it can bother y'all) and if Gary has the time and ability to improve the process, good.
