Didn't get to see the Final 4. Started off with Georgia Tech over UNLV in the Midwest final which caused me to close the window.

The east was terrible for me. West Virginia loses to Morgan State, and the sweet 16 ends up the 5-6-7-8 seeds. Clemson goes to the Final 4.

Other than that it wasn't too bad. Kansas over Kansas State and Villanova over Clemson in the Final 4, with Kansas winning it all.

I've ran it four times...each time Duke cruises to the final 4 before being taken out in the semifinal by a large margin. One can only hope.

The first time I tried it I couldn't believe how close it was the my real predictions. It was within 3 total games. Then after that, shit got funny. I actually had 3 #1's lose in the first round and Wake Forest winning it all.

Not sure if the OP was suggesting that ESPN's computers think OSU has the goods to make it to the title game and defeat Kansas, but this attempt appears to be a reach.

My Final Four:

Wake Forest
Duke
Pitt

and

UCSB

LOL

LOL Mine is the worst right now. ETSU beat Kentucky, and then Texas before losing to Wofford in the sweet 16. Clemson advanced to the final four in this region (LOL).

Syracuse also lost to Vermont, which makes two 16 seeds over 1 seeds in my brackett (Vermont went to the sweet 16).

My final four: Clemson, Notre Dame, Vandy, and Maryland.

Title is ND over Vandy haha.

I'm beginning to think this automator deal tracks how many times you have visited each school's page on ESPN.com. Then identifies that as your favorite team.

Ahdonis had Ohio State in the final, I had Duke winning it, goon and fly had Ohio State winning it, ohio had Clemson in the final..

It didn't work out for some, but there's somewhat of a pattern to the "random chaos" it seems.

I simulated the whole thing 20 times and got these results:

Kentucky won four times, once in a Glory Road rematch over UTEP.
Syracuse, Villanova, West Virginia and Baylor each won twice.
Kansas, Duke, Ohio State, Maryland, California, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Utah State all won once.

Kansas made the least final fours of any 1 or 2 seed. Duke and Syracuse both lost twice in the first round. Villanova and Kentucky made it to the most final fours (11). Georgetown losing to OU was the most common first round upset amongst the top 4 seeds.

I meant goon picked KENTUCKY not OSU.

Goon hitting 11 Final Fours (the most of his tries on the automator) and the fact that he twice had Duke losing in the first round is reason enough for me to believe that it's based on your favorite team (or the team you are associated with most on ESPN.com).
