RE: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] A contest for you pick /em geniuses

The problem is that you have a team like the Coastal team from Florida last year that just busts everything up.  While you are absolutely correct in predicting the winner, the lower seeds do upset the brackets.

One could trim that number down a bit by omitting any seeds lower than 11 from the Final Four and any seed lower than 8 from winning it all. That would still include every result in the history of the tournament.

 

From a wagering standpoint, eliminating any teams seeded 5th or below from the Final Four would seem to pick up about 90% of the actual Final Fours and help trim the number down further.

There are 63 games played with one winner and 2 teams each, so, 2^63 possibilities, which is a huge number.  Buffett's money is pretty safe!
