Or because of most teams not playing non conference games, there wasn’t a very good way to compare across conferences to be able to accurately seed teams.

I live in a state that pretended we whipped COVID in April of 2020 so it's wild being reminded the shit the rest of you went through. My city was hosting tournaments cancelled elsewhere and doing it with crowds in attendance.
