I don’t think that we learned much about the seeding process based on ND and UNC. In general, Palm has said in the past that about 75% of the teams are seeded within one spot of what you would predict based solely on RPI.

ND, RPI = 16; Seed = 3, One spot higher
UNC, RPI = 11, Seed = 4, One spot lower

UNC’s seeding supports an observation from several years ago that second place in the ACCT isn’t worth much for seeding purposes. Of course, when you are dealing with the Top 16 teams in the country, there simply isn’t much room to move up because most of those teams are going to do well in their conference tourney.

The seeding might have been more interesting if either team had lost in the semi’s. Oh well, wait ’til next year.
