Big 12 brackets released

For someone that understands the brackets better then me..... Why is it that sometimes the #1 seed gets a bye and other times the #1 does not in the BIG12 brackets. Thanks in advance.
 
As nitlion said, for Big 12's, it appears the top-8 are placed, then all the rest (4 wrestlers) are randomly drawn and placed, similar to Big Ten's several years ago. Only 5 allocation spots is the most for any weight class, so no need to do it any other way. In one regard it gives the top wrestlers a 50% chance of a first round match and possible bonus, something the top-2 no longer have at Big Ten's.
 
If/when Gfeller qualifies, will be interesting to see his NCAA seed, since he is going in with no matches.

I don't know who the one play by play guys is but he's making it sound like golf. Kind of funny to hear.

Ford Focus beat Buchanan 13-8. OKST and Oklahoma share the team title.

Ferrari Sr wound a little tight in the stands. Might need to get him seats behind the Iowa bench at nationals.

Or get him a spot next to Mr. Amine.
