Clemson not only has the highest RPI (#10) of any 5 seed

(Kentucky #16, Ohio State #20, West Virginia #29)
we're also ranked higher than any of the 4 seeds (Auburn #11, Wichita State #14, Arizona #17, Gonzaga #24) and all but one of the 3 seeds (Tennessee #8, Michigan #12, Michigan State #15, Texas Tech #21)

You get two seeds for being there the last 5 years

I feel like we deserved a 4 seed.

We don’t have the pedigree of some of the other 4 and 5 seeds (yet).

RPI is a joke though

We are 19th in Kenpom which is about right for a 5 seed. That said, a lot of other teams are seeded way above/below their Kenpom ranking. Xavier getting a #1 as the 14th best team in Kenpom was certainly surprising. That also gives the Big East two #1 seeds which is equally surprising. I think you could've made a much stronger case for 2 or 3 of the Big Ten teams getting a #2 over Xavier.

The RPI

Is the culmination of our seasons body of work... including the games where we had Grantham. I'm sure that our record without him was considered in the seed. In addition the new Quadrant system that the NCAA used to initially sort teams did not favor us this year. We won the games we were expected to win, but did not perform well against other Q1 teams.
Of the 3 seeds, Texas Tech, Tennessee, Michigan and Michigan State, we have the worst record against Quadrant 1 teams of any of those teams. Our 4-8 record vs Q1 teams (.333) is well behind even Michigan State (3-4) .428 and I don't think we belonged anywhere near this line.
Of the 4 Seeds, again, our record vs Quadrant 1 teams is not at their level. The worst of the 4 seeds was Wichita state at 3-4. Auburn, Zona and Gonzaga all had winning records vs Q1 teams.
The 5 line is the first line where you find more teams with losing records vs Q1 teams as 3 of the 4 seeds here are below .500 vs Q1 and the other (West Virginia) is at .500
In looking at the field, I can't say we belong on the 4 line using any other metric than RPI. We have a resume that more closely resembles the other 5 seeds. Had we beat FSU and Cuse on the road, we'd have been 6-6 vs Q1 and definitely been on the 4 line.

Had we not lostbto FSU on the road in regulation we also beat VT and maybe Duke. Mitchell doesn't get hurt in regulation.

Thanks for contributing more facts and figures to the discussion. I don't necessarily disagree with your logic.. just thought it was a cool stat and yet another of many reasons to be proud of our bouncy-ball Tigers.
