11 seed George Mason
In the 1985 NCAA tournament, Villanova was seeded 8th in the Southeast region. They defeated #9 Dayton, #1 Michigan, #5 Maryland, and #2 North Carolina to make it to the Final Four. They then defeated Memphis State in the semifinals and Georgetown in the finals to win the 1985 championship.
From 1979 - 2010, 54 no 1 seeds have made the final four. That's 42.2%

Vlad signed a 5 year, $70 million contract in 2004. The 2009 season is the final year of that contract and he is scheduled to make $15 million.
The Christopher Columbus who discovered the New World in 1492, does not make anything now since he has gone on to his final reward. What he made while he alive we are not sure of at this time.
George Mason was the 11th seed in 2006 and made it all the way to the Final Four. I don't know if that's the lowest seeded team to make it to the Elite Eight or Final Four though.http://a.espncdn.com/ncaatourney/brackets/2006Bracket.pdf

#1
The lowest seed to reach the Elite 8 was #12 Missouri in 2002.
Since the NCAA implemented the 64 seed tournament format in 1985, the lowest seed to make it to the NCAA championship game was #8 seeded Villanova in 1985.
The worst seeded teams ever to make it to the NCAA Final Four were both George Mason University in 2006 and Virginia Commonwealth University in 2011. They were both 11 seeds entering the tournament.
Teams are seeded based on their won/lost record and the strength of the opponents they have played.
It happened for the first time in 2008. To calculate the probability you'd need to know the probability of each number 1 seed winning each game, and that changes every year (and can't really be measured).
According to the Playoff seeding, YES. The Colts were the #1 Seeded team in the AFC and the Saints were the #1 Seeded team in the NFC. So technically, the two best teams in each Conference are playing in the Superbowl.
In the playoffs, a 'seed' is a ranking. This ranking is usually done by whether a team wins its division or, if they don't win their division, by a team's regular season win/loss record. A team that does not make the playoffs is not seeded ... they don't play anymore so there is no need to 'seed' them.

If that is the only criteria then the lowest number is 456789, what you allready have.
