March Madness

It’s March Madness once again, I’ll give you my picks like this, I’ll give you my take on the top 5 odd seeds, including the secret formula that gives them each a percentage chance of them winning it all.
1. 16% chance Duke Wins it. Although any of the one’s have as good a chance at winning it, yes even Memphis. And Memphis out in the Oakland bracket looks pretty good - UCLA is the second weakest 2 seed imho ( Tenn first ). And Duke getting GW in the 2nd round could be the most competitive 2nd round games for a one seed.
3. 10.6 % Gonzage wins it all, 9.33% chance Iowas wins it all
5. 5% Washington wins it all, 4.77% Nevada Wins it all, and this may be high seeing that they are playing Boston College in Round 2 if they get that far….
7. 2.28% chance Georgetown wins it all, don’t like the other 7 seeds.
9. Wisconsin is the best 9 seed and it has a 1.7% change of wining.
Other thoughts:
The Beast from the East: Syracuse from the bubble to a 5, and 8 teams from the big east - more then even from back in the Chris Mullins / Patrick Ewing Heyday
If the first round seeds hold West Virginia vs. Iowa; Kansas vs. Pittsburgh; and Michigan St. vs. North Carolina could all be classic second round games. Arizona vs. Wisconsin is easily the best opening round game.
