How Balanced is TRACR Seeding?

When grouping TRACR based on seeds, generally a high seed means a better TRACR overall, with the one exception being the No. 5 seeds having a higher TRACR on average than 4-seeds.

This is due to St. John’s and Vanderbilt ranking higher than any 4-seed in TRACR, making them more likely to advance to the Sweet 16 than even Kansas and Nebraska in their respective regions.

Seed: Avg. TRACR

  • No. 1: 42.2
  • No. 2: 36.9
  • No. 3: 34.3
  • No. 4: 29.8
  • No. 5: 30.6
  • No. 6: 28.8
  • No. 7: 26.6
  • No. 8: 25.3
  • No. 9: 24.0
  • No. 10: 20.0
  • No. 11: 19.1
  • No. 12: 13.4
  • No. 13: 5.8
  • No. 14: 3.1
  • No. 15: -0.6
  • No. 16: -4.8

As for first-round upset picks? The only two lower seeds to have higher probabilities are 9-seeds, Iowa (54.9%) over Clemson, and Utah State (50.8%) slightly over Villanova.
