I don't know how the Little 11 got six.

The Big Least only got four.

SMSU certainly did.
EG> Georgia a #3 seed while College of Charleston is a #13? Puhleeze, 
CoC is a 12.  How the 16th ranked team in the nation got a 12 seed is beyond 
me, especially because Maryland (ranked 22) is the 5th seed that has to play 
them.  The Terps have enough trouble winning without getting stuck with such 
a tough first round opponent.
