Just to clarify, I'm worried less about the actual pairings then what USA Today was trying to say when they placed us with Kansas. Its not so much as whether they are right (as my post indicated, I know that future games will determine that result), as what they were telegraphing with that seed.
For example, one intepretation might mean that the NCAA feels more comfortable placing us in lots of different regions without losing $$ because we are a national fanbase school.
Another interpretation is that they they think the ACC is weak, and thus we are a weak No. 2 seed.
Obviously we don't know the answer, but I respect the collected wisdom of some on these boards so I was merely curious as to comments.
A third interpretation is that it's the USA Today, and maybe they don't put a ton of thought in to all of the S-Curve, regional seeding rules, etc., when they do their mock brackets.
