Bracket Prediction: The field of 68 less than 24 hours before Selection Show
Indiana could have lost the No. 1 overall seed this weekend — and in the process, its comfortable road to the Final Four.
The Hoosiers not only fell from the top slot in the field in this projection, they also tumbled out of the Midwest regional. The top spot there (and overall) belongs to a Louisville team with top-six finishes in the RPI and strength of schedule, a 10-4 mark against the top 50 and a 14-4 record away from home.
This particular basketball tournament has four divisions, each of which has a number one seed. The "overall seed" is the top number one seed. The higher your seed the weaker the opponents you play early on. That is where the "comfortable road" comes from. The Final Four is the match-up of the four division (or bracket) champions.
To your question about prediction, it is a pastime in the US to predicted the winners of all the games in the tournament. Since there are 67 games, the chances of getting all the games right is very small and some companies run contests with big prizes to anyone who can get them all right.
The Final Four is the match-up of the four division (or bracket) champions.

"Comprehensive prediction" doesn't appear in that link you posted so I can't see it in context.
