Anyway, here are the pre-tournament numbers for teams mentioned here in the 2009-2011 date range:
2009 Oklahoma, #17 (.9340)
2009 Michigan State, #13 (.9425)
2010 Villanova, #15 (.9369)
2011 UNC, #14 (.9379)
2011 Florida, #19 (.9221)
2012 Duke, #17 (.8971)
When my computer died I lost all my Pomeroy data earlier than 2009, so I only have the past three years at this point.
