Don't pick more than one school without a state in its name to be in the Final Four. This means, if you have Stanford, Wake Forest, Gonzaga and Duke coming out of their respective regions, you better get back to work. Most years the Final Four is dominated by schools with states in their name like Michigan State, Texas, Kentucky and North Carolina. In fact, Duke, Marquette, Syracuse and Stanford are the only non-state named schools to make the Final Four since 1992. How's THAT for a statistic?
UPDATE: The Shifted Librarian correctly points out that Kansas was left off the list of state-named schools that have been there quite a few times.
