USC is the #4 seed in the tournament, which is why they are on the same side of the bracket as Stanford. Can't say I agree with the #4 seeding but that's what the NCAA came up with. UOP's #2 seeding is also debatable.

Are you sure those are the seedings?
[I don't know; the NCAA has been very coy about seeding for this tournament.]

Neither the official tournament bracket, nor the announcement specifies seeding - other than to note that the top two seeds are automatically in the semifinal (Stanford and UOP). 

By virtue of how the bracket is constructed, it would appear that $C is seeded above Pepperdine/Davis as they get to play the winner of the Harvard-Bucknell play-in game (Harvard). That would make $C the third seed. Then if you follow standard bracket structure Stanford would be the two seed. This would make UOP's #1 seed even more debatable.

Of course it could be that they have the #4 seed playing the winner of the #6-#7 play-in game, and then the #3 and #5 seeds play - but that would be equally odd.

As I noted in the MPSF thread, the bracket construction would indicate the following seeds:
#7 - Bucknell
#6 - Harvard (hosting 6-7 game)
#5/4 - Davis
#4/5 - Pepperdine
#3 - $C
#2 - Stanford
#1 - Pacific

I saw the bracket on the NCAA site before they picked the teams. They had the different spots in the bracket with the seeding for each spot but with no teams listed. But you are right, it does not make sense to have a #4 seed play the winner of #6 vs #7.  UOP getting the #1 seed does not make sense either though based on their results this season.
