  1. I find it funny that you previously noted, "As a statistician, I hate outliers." Yet if you look at the Bracket Matrix, when it comes to Michigan, you ARE the outlier. Same with SDSU.

    Self loathing is never a good thing.

    Cinci is 0-1 vs top 25 teams with an RPI of 14 and you think they are going to get seeded in the top 12. SDSU is 2-2 vs the top 50 (once again usually regarded as tournament teams) with an RPI of 20 and you think they will get a top 8 seed.Unless you make major changes to your bracket between now and selection sunday, you are going to finish in the bottom 10% of the bracket matrix.

  2. You say you use past tournaments and team resumes to come up with your bracket. I want you to show me 1 team with 2 wins or less vs the top 50 RPI and an RPI over 20 that got a 3 seed or higher.

    That is NM and SDSU right now.
