A few observations:

  • The Northeast is, as speculated, the bracket of death
  • UND is the only #2 seed picked as most likely to emerge from its bracket
  • RIT over Denver (9%) edges out Alabama Huntsville over Miami (10%) as least likely upset.

Of course, there’s a reason they still play the games. The least likely upset last year? Bemidji St over Notre Dame at 10%. Bemidji St won 5-1, then went on to beat Cornell to visit the Frozen Four.
