Actually this guy does exist, so maybe rv wins this one, he has a pulse its just that he doesn't do anything with his pulse for the hard working tax payers. He also seems intelligent enough to list his 5 things.
Who has McNelley faced in the top 5? Win percentage is mostly about hitting Keck twice already, can't see McNelley's record any different if he had Plott's schedule. But this is a weight where seeds don't matter. You just don't want to face Keck of Starocci and you don't get that option. Keck is a beast and Starocci has shown that maybe if you get the right ref there's a stall win option ... yeah probably not.
Yes looks like they went by B12 dual record but the #7 & 8 were 2-3 and 2-6 while Young was 3-5 with a win over the 7. He also beat the 1 at CK but lost in the dual. He was prob only 3 or 4 points from being a 3 seed, several close or SV matches that could've gone his way.
