Yes seeds matter. Especially first game and history also says the lower seeds win more often. Now I don’t want to be an 8/9 or even a 1 seed. I like the 3/4 7/10 seed. Feel like those are good seeds to have an upset occur and you end up playing the higher seed like when LeHigh beat Duke

Tell every one seed that loses before the final four that their seed mattered. Literally no matter what you say you can't tell me that a one seed mattered to any one seed that misses a final four. They supposedly get the easiest draw and play closest to home. If they lost then the seed did not matter. How can anyone say otherwise

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it

I can say otherwise....Your premise seems to be based on a tournament with only one #1 seed. No one says being a 1,2 or 3 seed guarantees winning the championship. Even if a 1,2 or 3 seed wins, there are 11 other teams with such a lofty seed that didn’t win it all.
However, based on xupauls’s stat above, the one that says 29 of 33 winners were either a 1,2 or 3 seed...leads me to believe your chances improve if you can secure one of the top 3 seeds in a region. I am not disagreeing with you, I’m just telling you - you are just plain wrong. Statistically speaking, your seed matters greatly."All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz and I'm fine.--Jeff Spicoli"

I guess seeds matter but not for the causation reason you seem to be implying. Top seeds don't cause teams to do well in the tournament. Rather, the best teams secure the top seeds and one from the group of best teams almost always win the title (while a dozen or so similarly situated teams lose). If instead of giving the 12 best teams from the regular seasons the top seeds you told them they had to play the tournament in pink uniforms, at the end of the tournament you would be saying, "you know, over the years, teams that wear pink uniforms really do well in the tournament. Pink uniforms matter. They matter a lot. Statistically speaking, pink uniforms matter greatly."
