More times than not, No. 1 seeds have taken home the NCAA Men’s Tournament title. But being a top seed isn’t always a prerequisite to making the Final Four.
In each of the last eight tournaments, a team seeded five or lower has made the national semifinals. That includes an 11 seed in two of the last three. Not since a three-year stretch from 2007 to 2009 has a team seeded lower than three failed to reach the Final Four.
For those able to correctly predict which of these Cinderella’s make it to the end, the results don’t have to just mean good things for your bracket. They can also put a little money in your pockets, as these long shots provide outstanding value on their odds. Here we take a look at some of the candidates from each region with a chance to play their way to the end.
