This year’s Final Four is shaping up to feature one of the lowest-seeded fields in March Madness history.
The lowest-seeded Final Four came back in 2011 with No. 3 UConn, No. 4 Kentucky, No. 8 Butler and No. 11 VCU. The four schools had an average seed of 6.5, besting the previous record of 5.5 from 2000.
The current Final Four field of FAU and UConn has an average seed of 6.5. But even if the lower seeds win the remaining two Elite Eight games on Sunday, the record mark of 6.5 wouldn't be broken. Although, it would be close.If both lower seeds -- No. 6 Creighton and No. 5 Miami -- win, the average Final Four seed would be six, ranking second all time. Should the two higher seeds -- No. 5 San Diego State and No. 2 Texas -- qualify, the average seed would be five, tied for fourth all time.
Here’s a look at the seven Final Fours that featured an average seed of four or lower since seeding began in 1979 :For the first time in men's NCAA tournament history there will be no number 1 seeded teams competing in the Elite 8.
