NCAA Tournament: Historical Success by Seed
March 15th, 2010

» Tags
This chart shows how each seed has fared over the six rounds
of each tournament since 1985 (the start of the 64 team tournament). For Example
the #1 Seeds have won 100 of 100 games in the first round, but 4 times a #2 seed
has lost. The #1 Seeds have made it to the finals 24 times and have won 15 of
them. The #4 seeds have made it to the finals only twice however.
Note that #6 seeds have performed noticeably better than #5 seeds, because they don't have to go through the 1 seeds so early.
