Honestly man, I'd be happy with the 6.  In real life I think an 8-loss team would be overjoyed with a 6 seed.  Your SOS and tough road games brought that RPI up, but realistically I wouldn't want to see 20-8 teams taking top seeds regardless of who they played.

In real life, the committee puts a huge emphasis on quality wins, and court's great in that department. He's got wins against #21, 7, 26, 18, 44, 53, 6, 55, 53 and 50. That's a helluva job, and in real life the committee would reward him for playing a tough sked and beating a bunch of NT teams.

Conversely, the committee is quite harsh on teams that pile up wins against weaker schedules without any big-time wins.

No question in my mind that he was underseeded.
