Since there are more than a few head scratching seeds(or lack thereof) this year, Flow interviewed Jason Borelli (Stanford) who is on the committee and he did a really good job explaining the process. The glaring issue with the methodology being used is that who you lose to does not matter. While quality wins matter, a bad loss has no bearing on seeding. When it comes to seeding, losing to #50 is no different than losing to #1.
