A common sense may appear, but the selection of teams randomly or with their favorite mascot or team colors is not a very efficient way to make a successful bracket – even if the tournament results sometimes seem to be not very useful.

While historical data does not guarantee 100 percent success rate, this is a good starting point. Jim Sergent of USA TODAY Has a wealth of useful information that can support the participants of the bracket challenge with these difficult decisions.

For example, a 10th, 11th or 12th seeds that his game in the first round gains, according to Sergent, a 40 percent chance to make it to the sweet 16. 47 percent of the teams put the fourth or higher on the round of 16.

Andy Wiltry from NCAA.com also has some interesting information, especially when it comes to collecting disorders.

Do not go overboard on disorders

It is rarely worth becoming too sweet with tournament brackets, but it is practically necessary to win a pool or bracket challenge or to take a risk – plus is always nice to brag about a sleeper that none of your friends saw.

It is worth choosing at least a few disturbances in the early rounds, but it is usually a mistake to go overboard. According to Wiltry, tournaments have reached an average of 8.5 upsets and 4.7 UPS in the first round since the bracket was expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

This date Pro Wiltry is based on a “surprise” that is defined by the winning team, which is sown at least five seeds that are lower than the lost team. After all, a No. 9 -Semen that strikes a No. 8 seed is not very upset.

According to Wiltry, No. 11 against No. 6 -Matchups in round 1 are the ripe for upsets.

There are always outliers for average values, but it is probably a bad idea to avoid uprisings or to choose 12 or more.

The selection of the legal quantities is more of a challenge.

If you trust high seeds to a certain point, stay with the sleepers you love

It is a good idea to switch off a No. 1 seed in the first round. While 16-1 upset occur, they are extremely rare. The top seeds are 154-2 ever against No. 16 seeds.

Upsets are a little more common with 15-2 matchups, but still rare. No. 15 and No. 16 seeds won 13 games in the first round. However, the first round are still the most common, with tournaments in round 2 only three and less than one in the last rounds.

Which sleepers are worth this year? This is up to you, but a little online research never hurts.

Joel Reuter von Blacher Report identified byu (6th seeds in the east), Missouri (6th, West), New Mexico (10th, south), Oregon (5th, East) and St. Mary's (7th, East) as sleepers that could achieve significant runs.

You can also see the tournament rankings from Bleacher Report, which were put together by Kerry Miller and Joel Reuter. It contains a wealth of information about the top players of every team, the strengths of weaknesses and victories of the season.

Before you fill out these brackets, research a little if you can get them. If you are still on the fence about a certain matchup, try to trust your intestine over a coin flip.
