The Final Four field is set, and it’s safe to say that very, very few people saw this one coming.
Auburn and Texas Tech earned their first-ever Final Four trips, Virginia is in its first since 1984, and Michigan State had to beat out the top overall seed, Duke, to reach the national semifinal.
Of the millions of brackets entered into our Bracket Challenge Game, only 0.02 percent predicted those four teams to make it this far.
Duke started the tournament as the overwhelming favorite in our bracket game, as 39.2 percent of all brackets picked the Blue Devils to win the championship.
With Duke’s Elite Eight loss to Michigan State, eight of the 10 most-popular picks to win the championship have now been eliminated.
