Why don't the 4 round one "play in" winners play the #1 seed? Aren't those supposed to be the last 8 teams in?

They do. At least on Kentucky's side of the bracket.
We play the winner of WKU and Miss Valley State.

Temple #5 and Marquette #3 each play a "play in" winner.
NC #1 plays the other one.

Two of the games are between "twelve" seeds ie teams that might not have made a field of 64.

it's the last four at large teams and the weakest four conference winners iirc

Probably opening up a huge can of $h!t with this, but didnt the HBC's raise a fuss about the play-in game being from the weakest conference winners because that put them in a play-in scenerio virtually every year?

Hey Busey,
Is Kentucky gonna win it all? Who do you lose to?

Four teams are the last four auto-bids (ie your 16 seeds) and four are your last at-large bids.

Yes. It still makes no sense though and is completely unfair to a 12 seed who has to beat another 12 seed before even getting the right to play a 5 seed. What kind of legitimate format makes being a 13 or 14 seed a better option than a 12 seed? None of these 16 seeds deserve to be in the tournament anyways (no 16 seed has ever won a tournament game) so why is it so unfair for them to have a play in game, but fair for a 12 seed with a 35 RPI to be forced to? NCAA logic.

I had to read that twice. I thought you were talking about Spurrier "Head Ball Coach" and wondering why anyone cared what he thought.
But,you're right. Still they have to win a tourney game every now and then or score a big win during the regular season. Southern beat Ga Tech once, Coppin State beat South Carolina and Hampton beat Iowa State once. I can't think of any other wins.

play in games should be for at large bids only.

more importantly, who is going to win these games against the spread this evening?
Western Ken -3 Miss Valley St
BYU -2 Iona
I don't believe a SWAC team has ever won a tourney game.
