SportsLine Optimal Bracket Simulates Entire 2019 NCAA Tournament
In this bracket, the team that wins more than 50 percent of computer simulations is picked to advance each round. Our optimal bracket finished in the top 5 percent of all CBS Sports brackets last year.


No. 1 seed Gonzaga is a strong pick to come out of this region despite losses to Tennessee, North Carolina, and Saint Mary's. The Bulldogs are our second-best team in neutral-site power ranking, better than fellow 1-seeds Virginia and North Carolina. And they have the second-best chance of winning the tournament of any team at 22.2 percent.
