Let's say you just picked one team to win and then determined every possible combination of that team winning.
For example if you thought UF would win the tournament, how many possible combinations are there for that to happen. Regardless of the number you probably couldn't submit that many entries..

That would still include every result in the history of the tournament. >From a wagering standpoint, eliminating any teams seeded 5th or below from the Final Four would seem to pick up about 90% of the actual Final Fours and help trim the number down further. -Zeb On Jan 27, 2014, at 12:39 AM, Stacey Hartley-McBride wrote: There are 63 games played with one winner and 2 teams each, so, 2^63 possibilities, which is a huge number.
