Michigan is the only team with a greater than 50% chance of winning their region. Problem is, Michigan won’t be full strength – at least for the first two rounds – due to Isaiah Livers’ injury. Soooo… huge caveat in this region. I suggest discounting Michigan’s chances and boosting everyone else’s. By how much? I wish I could tell you. According to Jeff Borzello, Michigan, in the past 2 seasons, is 33-9 with a healthy Livers and 6-6 otherwise. All 12 games without him came last season.
There is an 85% chance the winner will be one of five teams…
Seed | Team | Probability |
1 | Michigan | 51% |
2 | Alabama | 17% |
4 | Florida St. | 7% |
3 | Texas | 6% |
6 | BYU | 4% |
