A lot of talk about rematches here…
…but the seeds are about fair ranking, right? Rank them properly and let the match ups fall where they will, or am I missing something?

Been thinking about this as it’s being discussed. I agree with you.
Rank them fairly/properly & let the matches occur based on said rankings. People also get a bit worked up because they don’t believe the rankings are proper/fair in all cases. There is subjectivity & it’s not perfect- but never really can be - everyone has a bias to varying extents - conscious or subconscious - & want they feel is the “best” for their guys. Looking at the brackets - all fanbases have gripes about rematches and perceived “tough draws”. It’s done - locked & loaded - just have to go wrestle the guy in front of you & haw belief - true belief - that you can beat anyone & everyone. LFG!

IMO, they could let AI do the seedings. It would do a much better job of
weighting records, strength of schedule, prior matchups, etc. At least make that a component.

Isn’t a formula primarily used for seeding?
