its rather simple.  one sees the NCAA selection process and thinks, the teams should line up in order.

that's not how it works.  there are geographical considerations.  also, asses in the seats.  which means tv, merch, concessions, $$$.

see the men's bracket.  denver vs AFA.  ND vs marquette.  PSU vs towson. http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/2017-men-s-ncaa-di-tournament-bracket-maryland-is-top-seed/49421
We are  talking the women's bracket, not the men.
None of the men criteria works on why Penn St is seeded higher than Stony Brook.
Geographically it's negligible.
Stony Brook would have greater attendance than any other school except for maybe Maryland. More merchandise and more concessions would be sold at Stony Brook.
None of the games will be on "tv" prior to the semis. If the games were televised the ratings would be .00000000001

It all comes down to common opponents with Stony Brook and Penn State.
Based on this, Stony Brook got screwed!

Agreed. SB did get screwed. The only way to prove these naysayers wrong is, WIN!!!!
