Now that it's finally time to watch the Final Four compete in March Madness, it's time to start predicting the winner.
Jimmy Fallon used his famous puppies to predict who will make it into the Final Four, with Oregon expected to take home the championship title.
Though adorable, we will take the puppy prediction lightly.
If you trust the opinions of those on social media, then Kentucky is most likely to be the 2015 NCAA winner.
It's clear college basketball fans cannot stop sharing their excitement and disappointment on social media during March Madness 2015. So Facebook decided to use it's data to compose a map to find out which are the most liked and most talked-about Final Four teams in each state.
Sports on Facebook page used data from 14 million people that consisted of more than 34 million posts, comments and likes on Facebook that is related to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, focusing on the remaining teams. They took this data to create two maps of which state is talking about and "likes" the teams the most.
In the first map, Kentucky was found to be the most talked-about Final Four team from March 15 to March 31 in 13 states where there is a plurality of Duke fans, including: Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Wyoming and Vermont.
North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia talked about Duke the most, as well as Maine, South Dakota and Utah.
Minnesota and Wisconsin commonly talked about Wisconsin the most and rightfully so, whereas Michigan was all about Michigan State.
The second map is based on likes of the team's official Facebook pages by state. Of course, Kentucky Wildcats and Duke Blue Devils are liked in their home states of Kentucky and North Carolina the most, but their likes spread across the U.S.
West Coast states like Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington are team Wildcats, whereas Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas are team Blue Devils.
The maps show that Duke has more likes, but Facebook users love talking about Kentucky.
The Final Four games will be played on Saturday.
