Loyola Chicago and Sister Jean may have captured the nation's heart, but the Ramblers are not the team most of the United States wants to see win the national championship.
That'd be Michigan.

Michigan "won" 22 states, followed by Kansas with 16 and Loyola Chicago at nine. Villanova, which faced KU on Saturday, was tops in three states.
