but the #4 seed winning it twice validates the fact we're not doing a great job ranking them


that's just nonsense. 1 of the 4 seeds was the #1 seed until they were upset in the final of game of the regular season. They were a 4 seed only because they did not win their conference. The other 4 seed was the first year and of the 4 teams, they had the worst loss of the 3 teams with a loss. The one undefeated team that year was the 3 and got boat raced. Overall the seeding has been fine.

The other #4 was the first year and jumped two teams with 1 loss the last week of the season. Baylor and TCU had a great case as well.

The #4 team was #5 going into the last week and moved up without having to play another game while the team that fell was in until the conference championship game. It was horseshite.

Those #4s winning prove that the margin isn't nearly as wide as people are acting. This year is the anomaly, not the norm.
