Here are the Elite 8 Match-ups in our 4th Tournament of All-Time Great teams, who is favored in each game and then the teams 8 teams that were eliminated in the Sweet 16. Teams are chosen based on:
1. Any team with one of the greatest 75 teams in history is included.
2. Any team that made at two title games in three years is included.
3. In our initial 96 teams, we limited each school to one team in each century, but as we added teams allowed extra teams from the same school that were truly elite, as long as there were no overlap in personnel (e.g. no members of the UCLA 1964, 1967, 1972 or 1975 teams overlap and they are all included, but none of the other six Bruins champions in the years in between were included.
4. If a team has a solid program, we try to include at least one team from their school that made a run. For example, St. Peter's recently became the only team to finish outside the top 100 of all teams that made the Elite 8 - so we include them as the best St. Peter's team for that run.
