Why is UMHB a five seed when they have the lowest NPI of the Texas trio?

This projection tries to avoid rematches in the 1st and "2nd round". However, per discuss with analysis, the NCAA is not required to do so. It's unfortunate that conference leaders "first game" will be against conference foes. As in D3Football projected bracket, its a possibility that Hardin-Simmons "First game" will be against UMHB.
