2-You posted a RP where Axl said he should pull for Utah. That makes sense because he "lives" there. I thought you would prefer that anyway.
3-Zeno does not have Oklahoma, Sam does. So if Zeno wins, he'll do it with Duke. Axl never had Duke as a rep.
4-After Mr. Paradox and Dr. Thrilla got cut (yes, the were on the bubble) I decided to move Zeno up in seeding as a combination of the three. Besides, the guy posted some funny stuff when he wasn't complaining. He probably deserved a 2 seed. Axl probably didn't.
5-Take all this into consideration, moving Zeno up, giving Axl Utah and a still very generous 5 seed, and giving Sam Oklahoma to screw with Axl all worked out because Oklahoma went to another bracket than I originally anticipated.
6-You are not switching places with Zeno. Cheer for Utah. GO UTES! I can see Siena asking to trade seeds with Michigan St because they didn't like their seed. Umm, no. Doesn't work like that. You got what you got. I will not defend my seedings anymore. I've explained it on the selection show, and now I'm explaining it again. I won't do it again after this.
Watch the games, have fun. This is supposed to be about FUN remember?
1. Well, it said in the selection show that Axl was switched with Zeno... This part is what I'm referring to ; "Sir Zeno gets the #2 seed with a switch with Axl" I didn't mean the team, I meant the seed...
2. I guess it makes sense, but I didn't really expect that rant to amount to anything... But I guess it's alright. I just know that Oklahoma probably has a better chance at winning the tournament than Utah...
4. I have posted some ok stuff recently... right? But I guess Zeno posted good stuff throughout his tenure... maybe I'll have a chance of winning this next year... if I manage to continue ranting well enough...
5. I guess I can use Sam's taking the OK spot and use it to help boost any possible future meetings between the two... And thank you for giving me number 5. It's better than being at the bottom, I believe...
6. I didn't read the selection show until just a few minutes ago. And I really have absolutely no clue how sports work, so I wouldn't know much about seedings and all that anyway, it just SEEMED like I was being penalized for the sWo rant, but I guess I'm wrong. And as I said, it was said in the selection show that Zeno switched "seeds" with Axl, so even though I don't know what seeds are, I just supposed it was some sort of punishment for the promo... I'm sorry.
I was really only upset because I came to think that the whole thing was because of that sWo rant... But apparently, that's not the case. I apologize for being confused by all this... I'll try and just enjoy the tournament. And I'm going to do my best to lighten up.

But... do you REALLY think Utah has a better chance than OK? I really don't know that much about either team, and I definitely don't know that much about seedings... but you said that seedings don't matter, so... Dammit, now I'M confused. 
Well... meh, if you think it'd be worth it, do this idea, but if there's really no reason, then just leave things as is. As you said, it's all in the luck of the draw...
