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?

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