Great article that shows the statistics, by seed, of advancing in the tournament. He uses a team with an 85 Sagarin score, which coincidentally, is Cal's current sagarin.
My takeaway....hope for a 6th seed for Cal this year. Best way to make the elite 8 if you're not one of the top 3 seeds. And by all means avoid 8 and 9.
