Simulation Sunday: Dayton wins first title as SportsLine simulates entire 2020 NCAA Tournament - CBS Sports

We'll never know the winner of the 2020 NCAA Tournament after it was canceled due to the threat of spreading the deadly coronavirus. After such a wild and thrilling season, don't we want to know who would win the Big Dance? Of course we do, and even though that's impossible, SportsLine simulations can project the winners of each game and the national champion. 

And they did just that.

The SportsLine simulation is just as unpredictable as the real March Madness might have been by projecting the Dayton Flyers as the winner of the 2020 NCAA Tournament. 

Take a look at how March Madness would have played out, according to SportsLine simulations.

In SportsLine's simulation, the Flyers go 2-4 against the spread in their run to the title.
