Why we can't use stats alone?

For those of you who have complained far and wide about how we cannot use stats alone to seed teams or decide who is in the tournament I agree. Never said we should. They are an interesting guide and fairly accurate predictor about which teams have the stuff and which teams are all fluff. Regardless here is an article that proves your point. The seedings are worth a chuckle or two.

*Note: I am sure that the author is not saying teams should be seeded this way. He is just pointing out how the seedings would be if each team was seeded by their ranking.
