Mr. Pomeroy, meet the NCAA Selection Committee

OK, will someone please explain this to me. There is a guy that lot's of people pay attention to named Pomeroy who ranks teams using statistics, like a RPI ranking. If you check the Pomeroy rankings currently, you will find the following: Link

Illinois 24
Virginia Tech 26

Yet, Virginia Tech is seeded 5, and Illinois is seeded 12 in the West Regional. Maybe this explains why every year there are so many upsets in the 5/12 matchups?
