The NCAA Tournament became so incredibly popular because of all the upsets and Cinderella stories making runs into the second weekend (at a minimum). However, the 2019 Big Dance has been arguably the most “chalk” one of them all since the field expanded to 64 in 1985. In the East and West Regions – those two champions play in the Final Four – all four of the top seeds each made it to the Sweet 16.

In the South, the only non-Top 4 seed still standing is No. 5 Auburn, and it was favored to beat No. 4 Kansas in the Round of 32. The South has the top three seeds remaining and the only double-digit one left in the tournament: No. 12 Oregon, which was the Pac-12 Tournament champion and as hot as anyone in the country right now. It’s only the second time in tournament history that all No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 seeds advanced to the Sweet 16.

Incredibly, all 16 betting favorites in the Round of 32 won straight up; that had never happened since the field expanded to 64.
