Expanding on an email I got from a good friend last night:

How can UConn be a 2-seed when they are clearly not considered one of the best eight teams in the land? They were ranked #13 by the final AP poll.

Meanwhile, Louisville is a 4 seed...which fits in just perfectly with how they are ranked by the AP. Or not, they are ranked #4 overall. In other words, the AP would have been thinking about putting them as a #1 seed. I'd say they got hosed, but at least they got put in the same octet with Washington, clearly the weakest #1 seed.

Here are the final AP rankings, with seedings in parenthases:
1. Illinois (1)
2. UNC (1)
3. Duke (1)
4. Louisville (4)
5. Wake Forest (2)
6. Oklahoma St. (2)
7. Kentucky (2)
8. Washington (1)
9. Arizona (3)
10. Gonzaga (3)
11. Syracuse (4)
12. Kansas (3)
13. UConn (2)
14. BC (4)
15. Michigan St. (5)
16. Florida (4)
17. Oklahoma (3)
18. Utah (6)
