I've been listening to the post-selection discussion on ESPN. They asked a panel to select which five seed would most likely go down in the first round. The overwhelming choice was UConn to BYU. Given how UConn was favored over #5 Pitt, it just seemed obvious to me that the selection committee probably wouldn't think the Big East was very formidable this year and thus downgrade Pitt to a two seed.

>> it looks like the committee has set the whole seeding process so that it favors Texas and Oklahoma, guaranteeing the Big 12 a spot in the championship game should both Texas and Oklahoma make it to the final four... <<

Jim Livengood, the University of Arizona AD, is NCAA selection committee chairman. What happened in the selection committee meeting?
