I would expect it is impacted by the conf, tourney seedlings.Because the automatic bid goes to the conference tournament champ, which sometimes turns out to be different than the season champ, doesn't all the seeding get shuffled after the end of tournament week?
I would expect it is impacted by the conf, tourney seedlings.
If the 1 seed loses in the championship to the 3, I would expect little impact.
If that 1 went out first game (semis)...and a much lower seed won the event then maybe more impact.
