Alabama going from 5th seed in the SEC Tournament, in which the Tide was eliminated in the semis, to 5th seed nationally seems equally questionable.

Either the regular-season rankings are junk, or the selection committee uses totally different criteria.

We know the committee uses very different criteria.  And the regular season rankings are for clicks.

Do we know this or just suspect it?
And, just to be a contrarian, is it possible that the regular-season rankings are reasonably valid and the selection committee is seeding less on merit and more on the basis of potential high-interest matchups in the super-regionals?

If Team A is ranked highly all season and gets an unusually low seed, we can conclude the committee uses different criteria.  As for which is "more valid", I don't think we can know without looking back in history in a detailed fashion.

I don't disagree with that. I just have a bit less certainty about the criteria. I'd say, "It seems obvious" rather than "We know," but that's somewhat splitting hairs.

Seems obvious that Texas got the shaft.  Cheater committee.  Fire everyone.  Etc.

The football committee is more impressed with really good wins than the AP, I think.
