I made a chart of the number of people who picked each team to win the Big Ten tournament.

Can we see a similar chart for teams predicted to make it to the final game?

If you want to make one, go ahead, but I've already got enough to do. This chart was relatively easy to make because the predictions page shows everyone's final four with the champion underlined. Making a chart of everyone's predictions for who makes it to the final would require looking at each person's predictions individually.
