The seeding committees for softball and women's basketball are almost totally made up of left wing extremists. It's just part of the deal.
Their politics sometimes spills over into bracket selections. There are some there who publically say that states who take strong conservative political stands should be deprived of hosting NCAA events.
Several publicly lobbied for the Softball national championship to be moved oit of HOF Stadium, to penalize Oklahoma for a couple of laws the state legislature passed.
It's not a big leap to see that same attitude impact selections and seeding. A lot of complaining about Stanford getting a 2-seed. They are the standard bearer for things on the left.
But honestly, look at Clemson on the Men's side. being left out of the bracket, while a team with almost the same record, who they beat 3 times, being included. All their wins over NC St were double digits.
