Great visualization and smart to start the axis at 40 since that’s the lowest possible total. A data label might be a good edition. I’m trying to compare this year to that 2010-15 batch that is similar. Cool chart!

I'm an idiot who was about to comment how the minimum on the chart should be 16. Actually really good choice of minimum.

But why not make it an average seed and make the scale start at zero… (0-8 scale)

That’s a good option.

You could then show the same view at different points in the tournament: sweet 16, elite 8, final four

Yeah, this type of info is so dataviz friendly. I’ve done some ncaa tourney charts about 5 years ago when I joined Reddit. I’m sure they sucked but I’m curious to dig them up anyways.

Actually, the best possible average would be 2.5 and worst possible is 14.5.

Yes theoretically speaking, however, I was using the existing data/history as the fit, but starting at 0. The max here is ~6 (100/16) so I added a little to the upper end.
