RE: this years NCAA tourney Cinderella canidates!!

Most if not all of those teams have multiple losses to non-NCAA tournament teams. So while they're certainly going to be tough outs, if you put them against, say, New Mexico State, Middle Tennessee, WKU, Vermont, Virginia Tech and N.C. State, there's going to be upsets. There always are.
No prediction method is guaranteed, but the safest thing is to look at not just any 4-6 seed, but look at teams who struggle in their last 10 games and teams who have a high seed for the first time in a very long time. That's who to pick to go out early, and IMO that's an even bigger factor than which lower seed they're playing. Almost any 11-13 seed has a chance against a team that is playing poorly or gets shaky when the NCAA tournament pressure is on.
