Nothing is guaranteed for teams in the East bracket. There are several teams with a fighting chance of coming out victorious.
Pitt, Duke, and UCLA are all top 10 teams in KenPom's rankings. 'Nova is a major factor as well especially playing their first 2 games in Philly at the Wachovia Center which isn't accounted for in these numbers.
Florida State as a 5 is actually the underdog here to the 12th-seeded Wisconsin. This bracket is my pick to see the most upsets. Wisconsin and Minnesota have great chances in round 1, UCLA looks solid in round 2, and either Duke or UCLA presents a major threat against Pitt.
These charts show an analysis of each team's chance of advancing to each round. The numbers are based purely on the rankings provided by Ken Pomeroy and a powerful little formula called log5 which converts those rankings into percents for a given match-up.
