re: I still am not sure how UVa and Duke are both getting 1 seeds?

Yeah, to be clear, I'm not arguing that Duke shouldn't be a #1, just that I'm reluctant to call them a lock. No one outside of Kentucky is a lock, mainly because there's five teams just about even for three slots. Though I like Arizona's resume more than some. Yes, it doesn't have the volume of wins, but it is in the same ration, and that's just the reality of a west coast team. We run into this every year. West coast teams just don't get as many chances to show their quality. But Arizona has done so within the limits of their schedule, limited by geography. It's not like they scheduled nothing but cupcakes.

I'm still trying to figure out how Kansas is #2 in the RPI. And what seed they are going to get. They'd be a 2-seed you'd pray you'd get. Sort of the anti-Wisconsin.
