Does anyone know what factors go into seeding? Is it strictly based on distance or is it somehow ranking based? Is there an overall seeding?

National semifinals reseeding is supposed to be purely ranking based; the "best" remaining team according to the NCAA is supposed to play the "weakest" remaining team, while the second-best and third-best teams square off against each other. In most cases the travel is long enough between super region champions requires flights (I think the threshold is 600 miles) However, when teams are close to one another, as I mentioned in the thread discussing the Shepherd/Kutztown winner potentially playing Bowie State, it would be interesting to see if the NCAA adjusts its own rule or finds ways to feasibly pair relatively close teams together if that scenario arises.

Oh ok. I've checked all of the possible matchups and that combination is the only one with teams less than 600 miles. Kutztown - Bowie is 153 miles & Shepherd - Bowie is 89, that may be too much of a savings to pass up, but VSU will save them from a difficult decision :)
I presume they use the same criteria as the regional seeding?

If the National Committee uses the same formula for re-seeding as the Regional Committees do in the selection process I could see VSU being the overall #1 if they can get past Bowie State. I believe their numbers in accordance to the NCAA D2 criteria were the highest in the country. That being said if Ferris State wins it would certainly be hard to argue against them being the #1 overall.

I just calculated the likely W%+SOS for each team, with a win this week:- Bowie State 1.604
- Valdosta State 1.591
- Ferris State 1.587
- Kutztown 1.529
- Northwest Missouri State 1.523
- Shepherd 1.506
- Colorado Mines 1.483
- Angelo State 1.451
