The most-picked March Madness champion every year since 2014
The most-picked March Madness champion every year since 2014
Every year, seeds No. 1 and No. 2 in the NCAA tournament console, they will receive most of the championships between Console Players. But sometimes one team attracts so much attention that there is a significant gap among the most selected elections. Other years BCG users have decomposed withdrawals.
Here is the view of the most selected winner of the Challenge Challenge Challenge, which returns to 2014. We also present a champion and its percentage-if this winner was not the same as the most cold champion.
2025
The most popular selection: Duke – 30.97
Champ: Florida – 17.51
In a very chalk tournament they created all four seeds No. 1 Final Four for the second time (2008 additional instances). But the Duke – led by the dominant star Freshman Star Cooper Flagg – was a refugee selection between men’s BCG records. Blue Devils lost to Houston in Final Four. Instead, the second most popular champion Pick reduced Nets when Florida won her third national title by gathering to beat Houston in the Championship game.
2024
The most popular selection (and champion): UConn – 26.09 percent
Huskies was repeated as national champions and became the first title team to be the most selected BCG champion from Villanov in 2018. UConn was the total seed no. The best selection for the filler holder because Houston was a second second (10.94 percent of the holders). Huskies ran to another title and won his six games by 39, 17, 30, 25, 14 and 15 points.
2023
The most popular selection: Houston – 20.18 percent
Champ: Uconn – 2.08 percent
Houston was the best selection that won it all and entered the tournament tied up for the most victory of any team in the country. Yet Cougars fell in Sweet 16 with a loss of 5 Miami.
The eventual champion of UConn Huskies left them 11. Most brackets to win the championship at 2.08 percent.
2022
The most popular selection: Gonzaga – 30.26 percent
Champ: Kansas – 7.87 percent
Gonzaga was the best selection for the second year in a row, because the bulldogs were again the total seed No. 1. But Gonzaga fell in Sweet 16 with an upset of loss to 4 Arkansas.
The eventual champion Kansas Jayhawks was not far from the list-to the 7.87 percent was the third most popular selection between BCG races. For information, No. 1 Arizona was second in 13.76.
2021
The most popular selection: Gonzaga – 38.84 percent
Champ: Baylor – 8.44 percent
Gonzaga has almost become the first undefeated sports champion since Indiana in 1975-76. Bulldogs entered the undefeated tournament and reached the title game before they fallen into Baylor. These bears were the third most popular selection-but you can see the gap between these two (and Illinois, popular selection No. 2 to 15.70 percent)
2019
The most popular selection: Duke – 39.12 percent
Champ: Virginia – 5.86 percent
Duke seemed to have everything. Blue Devils won the title of ACC tournaments, were 29-5, grabbed the total seed No. 1-A Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and others. Add that all and more than 39 percent of BCG players have selected Duke to reduce networks. Blue Devils had close calls with No. 9 UCF and 4 Virginia tech before they fell into the state of Michigan No. 2 in an elite eight thriller.
Virginia, ACC champion in regular season, went all the way to 5.86 percent of BCG consoles. But one year after UVA lost with UMBC in a historical shocking 16-1-1, Cavaliers won their first national title.
2018
The most popular selection (and champion): Villanova – 17.52 percent
Virginia had total seed no. 1 on 31-2, but De’andre Hunter broke his wrist at ACC and had to miss the NCAA tournament. However, Cavaliers did not last, with the monumental distribution of Umbc No. 16, 16.46 percent of users left without their champion at the tournament after the first round.
But Virginia was not even the most popular selection. That would be Villan. The Wildcats, another seed No. 1, dominated their rivals of that year and won all six NCAA tournament games of double digits.
2017
The most popular selection (and champion): North Carolina – 14.55 percent
UNC was both the most popular selection, as well as a 2017 champion, but there were not many gaps among Tar Heels and another favorite selection of BCG titles. Here is, as it was on top, including what would be the final rival of North Carolina (Gonzaga):
- North Carolina: 14.55 percent
- Kansas: 12.44 percent
- Villanova: 12.26 percent
- Duke: 11.69 percent
- UCLA: 11.14 percent
- Gonzaga: 9.99 percent
Take advantage of the chance: Here are the chances of perfect parentheses
2016
The most popular selection: Kansas – 24.87 percent
Champ: Villanova – 2.36 percent
Villan’s champion took off the most popular selection of BCG, Kansas, in elite eight. Jayhawks claimed the total seed No. 1, but they were not a refugee choice – the Michigan state came second. However, the Spartans no.

2015
The most popular selection: Kentucky – 46.57 percent
Champ: Duke – 10.54 percent
There was doubts about their popularity with undefeated wild cats in the field?
Kentucky started the season in the first place and never fell out of the best place, raised the total seed No. 1 and went to March Madness 34-0. Four wins followed, but Wisconsin upset the UK in The Final Four.
This Wisconsin team almost matched Duke on the floor, and when BCG Ticks came – 10.69 percent of users chose lakes to win all this compared to Duke’s 10.54 percent. But Duke won Showdown, 68-63, for the fifth title Mike Krzyzewský.
2014
The most popular selection: Florida – 26.04 percent
Champ: Uconn – 0.23 percent
Here is the biggest surprise of all, at least returning to 2014.
Huskies was just seed no. 7 and 26-8 when they took the court to face No. 10 Saint Joseph’s to start their tournament run. Uconn won this one in Ot, before defeating No. 2 Villanova, No. 3 Iowa State, No. 4 Michigan State, No. 1 Florida and No. 8 Kentucky to win for the second time in four years. Uconn was the most popular selection of champion No. 22 in 2014.
Florida was a clear selection of 1 in 2014, because Michigan State (13.30) was the only other BCG champion for more than 10 percent of players. Of the three losses of the Gators of that season, two came to Uconn.
