Go Maryland! I'm pickin an ALL ACC championship game, Duke vs Maryland. Course I might be a tad biased hehe. My final four currently is Gonzaga, Oregon, Duke, and Maryland. All subject to change hehe.

Can't get my teams in now. My workstation isn't flash friendly.

My final 4 consists of Maryland, Kansas, Duke and Oklahoma

Duke over Kansas in the final

I think Cincy and Oklahoma should be really interesting with Oklahoma being pissed at being passed over for a number 1 seed

What's everyones upset specials?

I've got Kent State making the sweet 16 and I have Wake Forest knocking out Oregon.

Yikes! Only four teams seeded #7 or higher have made the Final Four since the field went to 64 teams in 1985. That's less than 6% of the Final Four seeds over that time!

Oh well. Just as long as you're only doing it for fun (and not $100)... :)

that would be 4 times divided by 16 years..25% chance..it's not that rare

What would be cool if the wolfpack made it as well as the Zags...

For 1985-2001 inclusive, there are 17 years.
Over 17 years, there are a total of 68 (17*4) teams that made the Final Four.
Four teams seed 7 or lower have made it. That means that ~ 5.9% (4/68) of teams seeded 7 or lower have made the Final Four.

You would have to multiply that times four to get the desired result as their are 4 each of 7 and above seeds each year...

Their would be a 5.9% chance of a SINGULAR particular team getting it..but their would be close to a 25% of ANY #7 or above team
