That year, 3 of 4 had top offenses and only 1 with a top defense. The slight difference this year is 4 of 4 had top offenses and only 1 with a top defense.
Yeah I screwed up didn't I.
So my fallback position is this. This year has 4 top offenses. That's an anomaly and certainly not proof that you absolutely need a top 10 offense to be a contender.
In fact of my 16 teams before 2016, 8 had top 10 offenses.
So is having a top 10 offense an unconditional pre-req for going to the final 4? No.
