Methodology

How this model filled the bracket

Top-heavy bracket with 1-seeds dominating, 2-seeds advancing, and strategic upsets in 3-4-5 matchups.

Philosophy

Prioritize 1-seeds and 2-seeds advancing, but include calculated upsets in mid-range matchups to create competitive second round.

Upset strategy

Target 3-seeds vs 4-seeds and 4-seeds vs 5-seeds in early rounds, avoid major 1-2 seed upsets.

Championship logic

UConn defeats Michigan in championship - UConn's depth and experience overcome Michigan's talent.

Key factors

1-seeds (UConn, South Carolina, UCLA, Texas) are locks to advance
2-seeds (Vanderbilt, Iowa, LSU, Michigan) are strong favorites
3-5 seeds face each other in competitive matchups
