2006: Florida (3), UCLA (2), GMU (11), LSU (4)
2005: UNC (1), Illini (1), Louisville (4), Mich St. (5)
2004: Uconn (2), G. Tech (3), Duke (1), Ok St. (2)
2003: Cuse (3), Kansas (2), Texas (1), Marq (3)
2002: UMD (1), Indiana (5), Kansas (1), Oklahoma (2)
Last year was definitely an anomaly. You can stretch this out much further and seeds lower then five rarely make the final four. I think LSU in '86 was an 11. I was just curious as to what the typical breakdown looks like since I am curious to see how it sets up for the hoyas and because my bracket picks the past few years have been way too bold, and not George Mason bold.
Good luck on your brackets!

I believe that all the #1 seeds have never made it to the Final Four together which shows that they are never the four best teams in college basketball.

IMO, we'll have two #1s this year: OSU and Florida. Guess who out of the East?

Looking at this reminded me of the fact that there always seems to be one conference that gets 2 of the Final Four teams in. That said, it's rarely the "Best" conference (per RPI), and often worse than you would think. Conference RPIs for those that got 2 to the Final Four since 2002:
2002: Big 12, 3rd
2003: Big 12, 2nd
2004: ACC, 1st
2005: Big 10, 6th(!)
2006: SEC, 4th
Maybe the shabby Big East (5th) will make such a run in 2007...

HAS (breath) ALL THE 1 SEEDS (breath) GOING (breath) TO THE FINAL 4, (breath) BABY!!!!! They usually are 4 of the 4-8 best in terms of their seasons, sometimes the 4 best. But just because they can't win 16 out of 16 collectively doesn't mean they're not the best. I guess it just depends on how you define "best." |
