Now that Selection Sunday has come and gone, it is time to print out - and fill out - your brackets. The key to winning your NCAA pool is to pick upsets, but which ones will happen this season?
Looking at the trends from the past 31 seasons by round we can see how the Virginia Cavaliers as a #5 seed fits into the picture.
First Round:
#5 seeds go down in the first round 36% of the time, compared to only 20% for #4 seeds and 16% for #3 seeds. Last year two #5 seeds were upset, as well as one #4 (Cal) and one #3 (WVU).
