As a quick clarification, a 1 seed would be expected to win 4 games based upon seeding differences but not my data which takes into account the average performance of a given seed. The completely average #1 seed wins roughly 3 games, meaning that a team that's done what it was 'supposed' to in going to the final four gets some credit for over-performing as many of their peers don't meet that expectation.

It's a good thought to consider what opponent was versed in every round and I would like to implement that into the site, but it can be very difficult to take into consideration with a project like this. I can work with a sample of 31 tournaments, or 124 16-team brackets, and it would be very difficult to account for every possible scenario reliably with a sample like that.

Lastly, as much as I like the site it's really just a pet project I've had. I've got graduate school starting up in about a month so it's safe to say my free time is about to dwindle!
