I agree, but still, having the first and second teams should still be better than most others. And in the case of VCU, as someone pointed out earlier, 1907, the 10th seeded team went unpicked, so I think that there may have been a few better draft choices, which would have influenced the results.

Overall, this should be a warning to top seeded teams. You have to take a hard look at those teams who are left, and don't assume that a team is gone just because they are ranked well.
