The 2000 NCAA tournament was a surprise in that two number 8 seeds made the Final Four. That proved to be one of the crazier tournaments in terms of higher seeds advancing through the bracket. The 2006 tourney was also surprising as it was the first time since 1980 that no number 1 seed made the Final Four(due in part to 11th seeded George Mason knocking off number 1 seed UConn in the Elite 8).
Overall, however, you can count on one or two number 1 seeds making it to the Final Four. In fact 1997 and 1999 both saw three number 1 seeds in the Final Four.
