I personally think we match up well to teams that are a one trick pony.
So Texas State and Abiline Christian are getting a better draw than North Carolina and Iowa State?
Wild season out there.
I wish this was a schtick, but OP is really this stupid.
Iowa as an 8 seed behind Ole Miss, TCU, and Syracuse? I think you might be letting your personal biases affect your work.
In case you haven't noticed, people around here like to gaslight iowa fans. But then you don't come across as someone who would get that.
Did Jerry Palm even watch basketball this weekend? He has Iowa State as a 6 seed but still has Tech as a 4? Iowa State is closer to being a 4 seed than they are a 6 at this point.

Palm does not watch Big 12 basketball. Never has. Not a problem since he is irrelevant to the selection committee...
Click bait. Keep putting Iowa teams in Des Moines, and they will keep coming back each week to see if they are still projected Des Moines. I really don't think they take into account regions in these projections. Also, no reason to get worked up about a 2/1 bracketology. Lots of games to play.
Let me guess....all the Big 10 teams are higher than expected...
Reason some teams are higher seeds than what would be normally is because you have an entire power conference in the PAC who will get only 1 bid....1.
I want no part of Virginia...that defense would be a nightmare for this team to scheme around IMO..no thanks. I’d much rather play Tennessee or Gonzaga.
I think of the tourney we’re held today ISU would be a 4/5 seed...ISU is top 15 in NET ranking and Ken POm..We also have 2 top 20 road wins and no bad losses. If that isn’t a 4 seed idk what is.
Iowa is a bit tricky..prior to Michigan win they were likely 7/8 seed...that win prob pushed them as highest 7 seed or low 6 seed.. with thier remaining schedule they prob shouldn’t lose to a NW or Rutgers as they could drop them back down to that 7 seed territory etc..

How are they not? Just let the liquor do the thinking and you'll realize why.
Looking at the numbers, the 4 of them have really similar resumes. Same number of high level wins as Ole Miss and Syracuse and only one more than TCU. Iowa by far has the worst non conference SOS and overall SOS out of the 4. What put Iowa behind those teams were Ole Miss and Syracuse have good wins away from home. TCU and Iowa were basically a coin flip(TCU and Syracuse should be swapped, forgot to change that), but I went with TCU due to a more difficult schedule played.
