He elaborated briefly about the seeding decision. Heavily paraphrasing/summarizing - When committee teams in that vicinity, wasn't a lot of separation across the resumes, but one outlier was ISU's non-con.
In a different season, a situation like that could be road wins, or some other profile factor - maybe for ISU or maybe it's some other team.
One still could argue NCSOS or road record shouldn't be "thing" or a categorical element, it should be built-in to metrics. And probably already is. If committee has to find a way to distinguish and all else is close, that was the only place.
He reiterated (in passing) that he wasn't in the room when the vote was taken (that's a given with selection rules).
