    so my question is, how the hell did texas get the #1 national seed? (other than the lil dozen over all got what appears to be preferential treatment by the selection committee.)

    Yes it doesn't appear that Texas deserved the #1 seed but it really doesn't matter at this point. In fact it's probably better to be told that you are not #1, gives the team something to prove.

    that i agree with. i would rather a team feeling like they still have something to prove than get complacent.

    i just still kinda wonder how the committee came to some of its decisions.

    How did all these Big 12 teams make it into the field to begin with. There must have been some $ changing hands, Cleo-style.
