List of how teams have fared comparative to their seed in the 64 team era (Since 1985)
+1 for every round past their expected seed a team goes (ex. 9 seed makes Elite Eight is +3)
-1 for every round a team comes short of their expected seed (ex. 1 seed loses in Sweet Sixteen is -2)
An additional point will be granted for making the title game and another additional point for winning the championship (so #1 seed can get +2 if they win it all)
+.5 or -.5 will be given to the play-in games winners and losers
The worst output in one season would be -4 if a 1 seed lost in the first round. Virginia becomes the first team to post a -4. The next worst is -3 with a 2 seed losing in the first round or 1 seed losing in the second round.
The best single season output possible is +6.5 if someone playing in the play-in won it all which has never happened. A +6 would be the next best if a 9-16 seed won it all which also has never happened. So the best output that has occurred is +5 which has happened three times, with all three teams winning a championship.
#8 Villanova 1985
#6 Kansas 1988
#7 Uconn 2014
A 9-16 reaching the championship game would also garner +5, but that has never happened either.
