Whenever I get into the tourney and get "under-seeded" based on RPI, I get an email like this: 


Coach, just wanted to formally congratulate you on getting us into the National Tournament! I was a little surprised though when I saw us come up as a #8 seed. I really thought we got screwed. I'm sorry for the language, but the selection committee has done this to us in the past. We really should have been a #6 seed, at least according to my calculations.

Best of Luck - Make us Proud!

What does he say to you when you've been "over-seeded" or properly-seeded based on RPI? This never seems to happen to me, but it must be happening to someone somewhere, right? 

It says:

Coach, just wanted to formally congratulate you on getting us into the National Tournament! I was a little surprised though when I saw us come up as a #2 seed. I really think we screwed some teams over. I'm sorry for the language, but the selection committee does this every year. We really should have been a #6 seed, at least according to my calculations. I say we call the BBB

awesome

I think I had a 17 Rpi at the end of the CT, so I was only seeded a little better than my RPI would indicate:

"Coach, just wanted to formally congratulate you on getting us into the National Tournament! I was a little surprised though when I saw us come up as a #3 seed."
