much better RPI record, 6-2 vs top 25 teams (at the time of playing),

Records are very close vs. RPI top 25, top 50, and top 100.
But - if RPI was everything, then how the heck did Syracuse get a 3 seed with a lower RPI than Louisville?

better overall record, won their conference tourney,

Half-game better record,
much weaker conference (see conference RPI rankings).

harder SOS, and slightly better RPI record vs top 50.

SOS strength comes from early OOC games.
Louisville and Kentucky fans can have this discussion all day long and get nowhere. How about we agree that they both should have been a 3, and that Syracuse, BYU, and Florida all got over-seeded ahead of them?
