How does Auburn get seeded as a 4 seed after steamrolling three NCAA tournament teams on a neutral court?
Strength of schedule. You avoided playing the top teams in the SEC twice, outside of Alabama. You feasted on the bottom half of the SEC. Meanwhile your non-conference schedule was laughable, and you still lost your only big NC game (Baylor), plus one to a cream puff in App St.
Even your SEC tournament run featured only one game against a top team in South Carolina. Florida lost a starter in the first minutes of the championship game.
Auburn is really good, but a 4 seed is where you belong. Had you lost to MSU or Florida, you would probably be a 5 seed, or maybe even a 6 (like South Carolina, for many of the same reasons).

Being in the 2024 Maui Classic will help front load some quad 1 games next season.
We played Indiana this year, but they were not good. We dropped a game to Baylor.
St Louis and Notre Dame were not good.
St Bonaventure was ok. Same with Va Tech
So Cal sucked.
Schedules are made well in advance. Unless you get in Battle for Atlantis or Maui Classic it’s hard to guarantee a quad 1 slate.

Pretty much every metric besides Q1 wins disagrees with you.
Vegas has us borderline #1 high #2 in terms of odds. All the computers like Auburn.
That said, I don't really care about being a 4, I care about being the 3rd 4 and having to go across the country with two tough outs before playing the consensus best team in basketball.
But even taking AU-bias out, UCONN is the consensus #1 and gets to deal with 3 conference tourney champs and arguably the hottest two teams in basketball off the 1 line in Auburn and Iowa State? How does that make sense?

Same thing I've been saying. They sure don't like to hear the truth.
