Caleb has beaten a ton of ranked guys this year.
His RPI & Coaches is very high. It would be criminal if that awfully officiated ACC final outweighed everything else. Conf finish is only 10% of the criteria. Not a big diff between 1&2.
And just Top 5 guys - Caleb 2-2. Beat Parco & Arrington. Lost to Lovett & Arrington (officially at least).
Arrington is 1-1. Both vs Caleb.
Arrington has 4 losses on the season. Lost to D’Emilio at CKLV then he MFF out - tagged with losses to Gabe Willochel & Nash Singleton. Note he pummeled both Willochel & Singleton earlier rounds at CKLV. And lost to Henson.
Common opponent also comes into play. Henson 1-0 vs D’Emilio. Arrington 1-1 (he did avenge earlier loss).
Also opponents strength of record is a factor and Henson picks up Lovett & Parco (Arrington does not).
I think you’ll see Caleb as the 2 or 3.
Lovett, Caleb/Parco, Parco/Caleb, Arrington the probs Austin Gomez as the 5.
All those guys are absolute studs and capable of winning it all.
Plus the next 4-5 guys are all studs too. Chance Lamer, Logan Gioffre, Ty Watters. Tyler Kasak, Swiderski etc. Henson also has wins over Lamer and Gioffre this season. Arrington does not.
Overall win % Caleb is 25-2 (Arrington is 18-4). Another factor in seeding criteria.

A few thoughts (Henson seed/Mekhi #1/Orine-Latona III?)

I would be very surprised if Mekhi isn't the number 1 seed

Well hell, just make him the 32 seed - get the #1 out of the way early. **

True but I think there is almost zero chance Henson drops to #4 as well.
