Chalk is 8-0.

The quarterfinals will be the expected 1v4 and 2v3 match-ups.  In fact, the favorite and higher seed has won EVERY game so far. 

Let’s hope that record is at leas  11-1 10-1 when the tournament concludes.

I was a PoliSci major so I admit I may be missing something, but this math doesn’t add up for me…

Yes, should be 10-1.  Here's how the math works out.

Initial Games: 4.  (The lower 8 seeds played in four games to determine who would meet the top 4 seeds in the quarter finals.)
Quarter Final Games: 4   (Top Four seeds each played a surivivor from the initial round)
Semi Final Games: 2  (In this case 1v4 and 2v3; Winners go to the Finals)
Final 1  (Hopefully Stanford!)

Favorites won the first 8 games leading to the semi-finals.  For Stanford to win the championship we need the favorite to win two more games.  I don't care who wins the UCLA/USC game - could they both please lose by 99?  Probably not.

So ... we need favorites to at least go 10-1 although 11-0 also works!  :)
