Based on the Massey ratings...
...and I can promise you that there is no analysis going on in any NCAA selection committee that is more mathematically sound than these ratings, the only teams that got ripped off from a hosting standpoint were:
* Texas Tech, who he has 7th (Tennessee, who he has 11th, got their top 8 seed)
* Virginia Tech, who he has 14th (OK State, who he has 17th, got our hosting slot)
Of note, he has UCLA ranked 3rd and FSU 10th, so the fact that they were agonizing over those two teams for the final top 8 slot is kind of crazy. It should've been close between Texas Tech, Florida, Tennessee, and FSU for the 7th and 8th spots.
Anyway, selection committees for playoffs are dumb and unnecessary and I hope our ladies are unbothered by it all. So grateful for their efforts this year!

Head to head is meaningless, overall resume dictates seeding.**

That’s stupid. Only the NCAA can pretend results on the field don’t matter
