There are 16 teams left in the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament. This chart is a proxy for frequency and/or magnitude of upsets (higher seed beating a lower seed) that have occurred at this stage since 2000.
The lowest possible aggregate seed total is 40 (each 1, 2, 3, and 4 seeds advance to sweet 16). The average since 2000 is 72. The year 2021 saw a record high total of 94. This year the total is 78.

I believe it is 232. If all the 13,14,15, and 16 seeds advanced.
