SportsLine Simulation Bracket Full of Surprises

SportsLine simulated every possible matchup 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.
