Because committee members love being "lobbied" for seeding preferences.  Make it analytic and the "lobbying" (and any perks that may come along the way) goes away.   

ADDENDUM to original posit: For this (admittedly absurd) notion to work, every UND Football supporter has to contribute significantly fiscally to the effort.  Every. Supporter.  Contribute. Significantly. Fiscally.  There's no margin on that. There's no magic pot of gold at UND for it.  There's no "whatabout" whining about directed contributions going to other UND sports.  It's how the xDSUs have done it: Private directed football donations For that matter, that needs to happen to stay competitive in FCS.

I really think you need to rank 1-24 so that the 1st round matchups more clear as well and not regionalized. It wouldn't cause all that much more uproar than seeding 1-16. And why should the 16 seed get to play the worst team in the field just because they are a bus ride away and team #9 have to play a team that just missed being ranked for the same reason?

Your friendly reminder that the grass is not always greener.
