NCAA Tournament 2024 bracket: Computer simulation predicts surprising upsets, March Madness picks, sleepers

[ad_1]

There have been over a dozen upsets involving unranked teams toppling top-5 ranked squads entering the 2024 NCAA Tournament and the No. 1 overall ranking has been fluid all year. Kansas, Purdue, Arizona, UConn and Houston have all held the top spot, and you’d have to go back before the COVID-19 pandemic to find a year in which more programs were ranked No. 1. What does this all mean for the inevitable 2024 NCAA Tournament upsets we’ll see in the 2024 March Madness bracket?

No. 1-seed Houston has had no learning curve in its first year in the Big 12 and the Cougars are hoping that navigating a tougher regular season schedule will translate into more success in the NCAA Tournament bracket 2024. After making the Sweet 16 the last four years, can Houston avoid one of the 2024 March Madness upsets and make its first championship game appearance in 40 years? Before you make your 2024 NCAA Tournament predictions, see the March Madness bracket picks from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

This model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has nailed 20 first-round upsets by double-digit seeds since its inception in 2016 and nailed UConn’s dramatic Final Four run as a 4-seed last year. It went an amazing 22-10 in the first round, including an astounding 12-4 in the Midwest and West regions.

Last year, SportsLine’s computer simulation nailed massive upsets, including huge wins by No. 13 Furman over No. 4 Virginia and No. 10 Penn State over No. 7 Texas A&M. The model has beaten over 92% of all CBS Sports bracket players in three of the past five tournaments.

Now, SportsLine’s advanced computer model has simulated the entire 2024 NCAA Tournament 10,000 times to come up with the perfect 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket and find out which teams will pull off the biggest upsets. You shouldn’t even think about making a pick without seeing what their model has to say.
