Needs for the next games

OK, so I wrote some code today that can spit out data for an individual bracket like this at the push of a button:

For Peter J. #3:


There are 48 ways for you to win the tournament.

Virginia wins it's next game in 100% of scenarios.
Arizona wins it's next game in 100% of scenarios.

Michigan wins it's next game in 87.5% of scenarios.
Wisconsin wins it's next game in 83.33% of scenarios.
Louisville wins it's next game in 54.17% of scenarios.
It doesn't matter to you who wins between Stanford and Dayton.
It doesn't matter to you who wins between Iowa State and Connecticut.

I'm not sure how I can do this for all 133 brackets that can still win, but it's fun to know who you need to win coming up.  Sometimes it's not who you think.

I'll calculate the eliminations for the first games on Thursday tomorrow.
