I think everyone was pretty surprised at A&M getting seeded over Kentucky after today, but it seems to make sense after breaking down both teams record versus NCAA tournament teams:
Texas A&M (26-8) - 3 Seed
Record vs NCAA Tournament teams: 8-3
1-0 Iowa St (4 Seed)
1-1 Kentucky (4 Seed)
1-0 Baylor (5 Seed)
1-0 Texas (6 Seed)
0-1 Syracuse (10 Seed)
1-0 Gonzaga (11 Seed)
1-1 Vandy (11 Seed)
1-0 UNC Asheville (15 Seed)
1-0 Florida Gulf Coast (16 Seed)
Kentucky (26-8) - 4 Seed
Record vs NCAA Tournament teams: 3-3
0-1 Kansas (1 Seed)
1-1 Texas A&M (3 Seed)
1-0 Duke (4 Seed)
1-1 Vandy (11 Seed)
Texas A&M (26-8) - 3 Seed
Record vs NCAA Tournament teams: 8-3
1-0 Iowa St (4 Seed)
1-1 Kentucky (4 Seed)
1-0 Baylor (5 Seed)
1-0 Texas (6 Seed)
0-1 Syracuse (10 Seed)
1-0 Gonzaga (11 Seed)
1-1 Vandy (11 Seed)
1-0 UNC Asheville (15 Seed)
1-0 Florida Gulf Coast (16 Seed)
Kentucky (26-8) - 4 Seed
Record vs NCAA Tournament teams: 3-3
0-1 Kansas (1 Seed)
1-1 Texas A&M (3 Seed)
1-0 Duke (4 Seed)
1-1 Vandy (11 Seed)

Kentucky lost to both Kansas and A&M in OT on their courts.

Don't know how anyone in their right mind could pick Indiana over UK or Texas over A&M (when A&M beat them by 11 without Jalen Jones)

And still got a worse seed than Indiana. But go figure. All you can do at this point is go out and frick up some brackets.

4 is a better seed than a 5.

I was thinking they got the 3. Still hate our bracket.

Seeding still doesn't make sense.

Yes it does, you're just biased and irrational. But at this point it doesn't matter. We're all dancing. Lets go win some games.

The committee wanted an A&M vs. Texas matchup in OKC and couldn't justify making the sips a 5. Blame Texas for getting raped by Baylor in their tournament.

Same thing they did forcing Kentucky v Indiana.

But yet our SOS is tougher.

I'll say it again.
Indiana was a HARD 5 seed. Texas fell off the 5-seed line when they got destroyed by Baylor.
The committee wanted A&M/Texas and UK/IU matchups in the second round.
This was all about location and matchups.
Kentucky plays in Des Moines (668 miles), then Philadelphia (634 miles) if they advance.
Texas A&M plays in Oklahoma City (373 miles), then Anaheim (1467 miles) if they advance.
The committee was NOT going to put Kentucky in the South bracket for a virtual home game against a 1 or a 2 seed.

But you didn't beat nearly as many good teams as A&M did.
