How many 8 seeds get down by nearly 40 points to the 9 seed? Cause the Mike White special nearly did that.

11 and 12 seeds almost as good as 10 seeds.

So the committee gets it right until it's a toss up game?

We're 1 of those 11.

There is no objective data that separates an 8 from a 9, or even a 10 and a 7. It's all subjective.

The 9 seeds went 4-0 against the 8 seeds this year for the 6th time in tournament history

Man, what a bit of information to research.

What is up with the missing 7-10 game?

Everything falls off a cliff after 4 seeds.
I think its due to so many undeserving mid majors winning their conference tourney unexpectedly and getting matched with the 1-4 seeds.
A lot of the other teams get in outright.

The 2021 first round match-up between No. 7 Oregon and No. 10 VCU was considered a no contest due to COVID-19 protocols.

Yeah... I was noticing that too, where there's a huge deviation between that group of 3 and the 13th seed, as well as the 9th seed.

If not for the 9 seeds, the East and Midwest brackets would be spoiler-free (all other higher seeds won their games).
Only 4 double-digit seeds still remain:
10 - Texas A&M
11 - VCU, Texas
12 - High Point

You are bad with numbers, bad with words, have horrible interpersonal skills, and lack any semblance of self awareness . I feel pity for you Sidewalk.
