SportsLine's simulation bracket full of surprises

SportsLine simulated every possible match-up thousands of times and the team that won over 50% of simulations was selected to advance. In order to "simulate the madness" we also assumed that the Nos. 3-6 seeds with the lowest win% when compared to other teams of the same seed would be upset. This is why you will see favored teams not advancing in some cases.

Why do we have Yale, a 29 percent underdog, advancing vs Baylor? Because we are looking to simulate the madness of the NCAA Tournament and in an effort to identify major upsets, we assume that at least one No. 3 seed, one No. 4 seed and one No. 5 seed will be upset.
