There have been 35 teams since 2014 (the 16 and 33 seed era) that have qualified all ten for the tournament.
I took a look at what their average seed was (thin vertical black line to the far right in each row), and how they performed relative to that seed (red/green bars).
No real surprise here. The higher the average seed (the lower number), the harder it is to beat the seed.
But there are no guarantees, as two of the worst performances relative to seed came from teams in the bottom quarter of seeds.
(How to read: Lehigh 2021 had an average seed of ~22 for its 10 wrestlers. They missed their average seed by about 1 spot, for an average finish of ~23).
