Butler>Oklahoma, Boise>American. It's close but Boise and then Oklahoma/St Joes is tougher than American + Butler/S Alabama.

Fair enough, although it does make it kind of odd the odds on Tennessee rose this much, given this was the expected matchup all along.

The initial odds included a weighted percentage for Tenn's matchup in the S16. Despite facing Louisville there more often than others, it still wasn't not assumed that Tenn would face Lville.

i view it a bit differently.

on a given night i would put butler at a 30% chance to beat TN and 23, or so, to beat Louis. I would make OU a 14% vs TN and a 8% vs louis. American a 1% vs TN and Boise a 3% vs Louis. Obviously the lines don't all reflect those percentages, but thats about how often i think the other teams could manage victories over the favorites.
