Trader consensus on Polymarket has locked in 100% probability against any double-digit seed (10-16) reaching the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight quarterfinals, driven by top-heavy dominance through the first two rounds of March Madness. Over the past week, chalk held firm as all double-digit seeds were eliminated early, with notable second-round upsets absent—teams like any lingering 11- or 12-seeds fell to battle-tested 1- through 8-seeds amid superior depth, coaching, and matchup advantages. The Sweet 16 field now features exclusively single- and low-double-digit seeds at worst, underscoring predictable bracket progression reflective of recent regular-season form and NET rankings. While freak injuries, forfeits, or vacated results could theoretically reopen the door, no credible paths remain for Cinderella runs at this stage.
