11-seed play-ins?


I need help. Having 16 seeds play-in to get to the round of 64 seems a bit silly, but ok, all’s fair in raw commercialism. But what’s this with having 11-seeds (USC/VCU) or 12-seeds (UAB/Clemson) having to playing? Why are better teams having to run through an entire additional round than worser teams? Will someone knowledgable (or simply opinionated will also do) please explain? Thank you.
