Why are the rankings of basketball teams in the NCAA tournament called seeds?
One of the meaning of the word seed, when it comes to sports, is 'a ranking of teams or players for a specific purpose'. So, as far as sports are concerned, the words seed and rank are synonymous. The use of "seed" or "seeding" was common in tennis in the late 1800s. It was used to describe the act of spreading or "seeding" the best players throughout the tournament in order to keep the best players from meeting/playing early on. The "seeded" players were those of higher skill and thus the term became synonymous with ranking. The term is also used in terms of "seeding" a deck of cards; spreading the most desirable cards throughout a deck so as to not have them all appear at once.

Why are basketball teams called seeds?
Basketball teams are ranked according to their performance records during the season. When the final tournament schedule is initially set up, the teams are 'planted' into the schedule with their rankings in mind, which predict the final outcome of the tournament. The tournament schedule is arranged so that teams with higher rankings won't meet up until later in the schedule. So, if the tournament turns out as predicted, the teams will finish according to their initial rankings. For example, a No1 'seed' has a high probability of winning the tournament, while a #11 'seed' is less likely to finish in the top five.
