Shortly after the unveiling of the 2004 NCAA tournament bracket, selection committee chair Bob Bowlsby candidly explained why Oklahoma State had to settle for a No. 2 seed.
Bowlsby admitted that the committee didn’t factor in the Cowboys’ Big 12 title game victory over Texas because it ended only minutes before the airing of the Selection Show."While we were in the seeding process, we made the considered decision that we were no longer going to be able to consider Oklahoma State to move up onto the top line because they hadn't completed their game yet."
A contingency bracket might be needed in case a bid thief wins its way into the field of 68 and shrinks the NCAA tournament bubble by one. Or if winning or losing the title game is deemed to be enough to upgrade or downgrade a team’s seeding. Occasionally, a team not even playing on that Sunday can be affected.
“There are years when you’re crunched for time and you’ve got to move,” Burnett said. “You can’t have a few more hours of discussion on a single conference tournament title game. You’ve got to get the bracket ready by the broadcast deadline. In 2016, the selection committee awarded Kentucky a lesser seed and tougher draw than Texas A&M even though the Wildcats edged the Aggies in the SEC tournament title game. That promptedThe complaints grew louder last March when conference tournament results seemed to be less significant than usual. Virginia Tech, Tennessee and Iowa all received lower-than-expected seeds despite winning their respective conference tournaments.
