Seeing as a few mid-majors were 1-2 seeds below where they should have been (Winthrop, Zags...), then a 9 is about right.

No, the polls said they were a 2 (or 3 maybe) seed. The RPI said they were an 8-9 seed. Given a little more weight to the polls (as the committee typically does in seeding shoe-in teams), they should be a 4-5 seed.
