First of all, the teams are ranked 1-68. There are 31 conference champions and 37 at-large bids for teams who did not win their conference tournaments.
The four lowest rated at-large teams have to play each other. Those ended up being #11 seeds VCU and USC, the winner of which will play #6 Georgetown and the #12 seeds of Clemson and UAB who will play #5 West Virginia.
Meanwhile, the lowest rated conference champions (#65-68) are slotted to play each other and the winner of each of those games will play the #1 seed.
Hope this helps somewhat.
