2019 SportsLine Simulation Bracket Full of Surprises
SportsLine simulated every possible matchup 10,000 times and the team that won over half the simulations was selected to advance. In order to "simulate the madness," we also assumed that the Nos. 3-6 seeds with the lowest win percentage when compared to other teams of the same seed would be upset. With this approach, we nailed 12 of the 18 double-digit seed upsets in the first round the past three years!
EAST REGION UPSETS: No. 9 UCF over No. 8 VCU -- The Knights win well over half our simulations over VCU, so this isn't even really an upset. No. 14 Yale over No. 3 LSU -- Yale wins outright in almost 25 percent of simulations against the regular-season SEC champs, whose coach, Will Wade, is suspended.
