Makes you wonder how they rank & seed

These conferences played very few matches outside their conference, so a 9-5 PSU gets ranked and seeded because they've been historically good? And the Big 10 is better as a conference (same logic didn't work for the basketball tourney)? Just seems pretty arbitrary.

I don't know a better way to rank and seed, but it would seem more fair to not give any teams a bye (and, yes, I know 48 doesn't work for that - but make it 64 - more teams happy, all teams have to expend some energy)
