Well, according to this article:

the average alumni's salary helps in predicting the winners of the tournament.
Although it is not foolproof, since two of their final four (Duke and Notre Dame) were eliminated this first weekend.
According to this, based upon the remaining teams, the Final Four will consist of Stanford (from the South Regional--and predicted as the tournament winner), Georgetown (from the Midwest Regional), UCLA (from the West Regional), and North Carolina (from the East Regional). Not a bad Final Four prediction in my view.
