Why do people say seed 1-8 don't matter?

Wouldn't you expect the number 1 team to be significantly better then the number 8 team?
I don't have to expect. I am pretty sure there are 2 or 3 teams a little better then the rest no? The 7 and 8 seeds to have a harder game in Omaha? (Considering all seeds make it)

yes but matchups are based on geographics...not seeds.

1 is not necessarily guaranteed to pair with 16
It doesn't matter if your good enough you will find a way to advance.

You're talking regionals and supers though right?

They don't seed the tournament by 1 v 16, 2 v 15 etc.
However, the confidence that being #1 would give you can't hurt.

By the time you get to Omaha, all the teams are really good.
For example, if the likely #1 Vandy played a possible #8 NC State in the opener in Omaha, there's no telling who would win that game. I'd almost go as far to say that NC State would be favored due to Rodon getting the nod as a lefty against all of Vandy's lefties. I know the Commodores would likely counter with Beede or Zzzzzemck (don't care how to spell his name).
All teams in Omaha will have a sure fire stud ace and the opening games will rarely favor one team drastically over the other except if Cinderella comes a knockin.

Ok. My bad. I thought they gave out just the top 8 seeds 
Now I see. They give out 16. All supers. Thanks

They need to just seed 16 and be done with it.
Posted on 5/27/13 at 10:17 am to BraveTiger225
Seeding through 16 is coming.

Yeah. Trying to figure out why. My mom used to beat my arse for taking stuff apart as a child to see how shite works.

Don't know. I know there is 16. I guess I thought the other 8 fell out the sky?

Lol. See what I mean. People are still living in the 90s to 2010. Strides have been made in recent years.

Whether LSU is the 1 seed or the 8 seed they are getting paired with the same regional.
