The seeds are listed in true seed order (i.e. Arizona(#1overall 1 seed) and Syracuse(#4 overall 1 seed) throughout. With that said there were a number of teams who either moved a seed for their convenience or had to be moved so that they could fit into the bracket and they will be listed below.
North Carolina- They were moved from a 4 seed on the S-Curve to a 5 seed so they could play in Buffalo instead of having to travel to Spokane. That moved St. Louis to a 4.
Oregon- Oregon fell from a 10 to an 11 seed because another PAC 12 team could not fit into the bottom of the bracket. Florida St. was moved up because they were the next seed in the seed order who could fit (California was ahead of them but obviously could not fit as well.) So Florida St. was the last team with a bye but they had to move up a seed line in this particular bracket.
Providence/SMU- SMU due to all four brackets having an AAC team in the bottom half of the bracket could not be an 11 so they and Providence were bumped to a 12 for their play-in game. Note that they were both in ahead of Dayton and Arkansas but had to be bumped a seed line accordingly.
