General consensus was that Duke was the weakest #2 seed (even KCC has been dissing on Duke for awhile), and they got the draw of the weakest #2. KU got to stay closer to home than OSU, and OSU got the tougher draw with Syracuse. What the committee has said and what is on paper does not seem to mesh.
In any event, I was disappointed at first, as I thought Mizzou's best chance would be through St. Louis. However, I like the region Mizzou is in, and I think if they play their best basketball, they can make a serious final four run.

It's not always perfect... there's a lot to consider, so the S curve isn't set in stone. I've seen oddities before where it doesn't match up perfectly. With UNC and MSU, it seemed like they didn't think either deserved the 3rd #1, so they treated them both like 4th #1s and shipped them. KU was the 1st #2, so they got regional preference.
