Only the top 16 get seeded, then they use travel for the other 48 teams.

If the men's basketball tournament bracketed using WVBs rules, it might look something like this

1 Virginia vs UMBC / Seton Hall vs Davidson
2 Villanova vs Penn / Providence vs Rhode Island
3 Kansas vs South Dakota St / Creighton vs Missouri
4 Xavier vs Bucknell / Kentucky vs Ohio State
5 Purdue vs Wright St / West Virginia vs Alabama
6 UNC vs Charleston / TCU vs UNCG
7 Duke vs Ga State / Florida vs Texas
8 Cincinnati vs Iona / Va Tech vs Marshall
9 Michigan State vs Loyola (IL) / Clemson vs Butler
10 Tennessee vs Radford / NC State vs Oklahoma
11 Michigan vs St. Bonaventure / Miami vs Buffalo
12 Texas Tech vs Texas So / Texas A&M vs Stephen F Austin
13 Arizona vs CS Fullerton / NM State vs San Diego St
14 Wichita St vs Syracuse / Arkansas vs Kansas St
15 Gonzaga vs Montana / Houston vs Nevada
16 Auburn vs Lipscomb / FSU vs Murray State


Regionals
1 Virginia vs 16 Auburn / 8 Cincinnati vs 9 Michigan State
2 Villanova vs 15 Gonzaga / 7 Duke vs 10 Tennessee
3 Kansas vs 14 Wichita / 6 UNC vs 11 Michigan
4 Xavier vs 13 Arizona / 5 Purdue vs 12 Texas Tech

And then a pre-determined final four, which in this case is in San Antonio

I don't see anything wrong with this, but then that's what the NCAA has led me to expect...
