PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines.

Likewise. This year, I took a slightly different tack on predicting the brackets which I might post about here after the brackets are locked on Thursday.

(eta)

NCAA bracketology:

BPI rankings.
BPI explained.

Silver model rankings.

Vegas odds/rankings.

Kenpom model rankings.

All of these agree on the brackets with Louisville as the favorite over Indiana, except Kenpom favors Florida over both Louisville and Indiana.

There is a split on the Oklahoma St / St Louis game, and I went with Vegas and Silver's & Kenpom's call for St. Louis on this one (instead of BPI), but it won't matter much because they'll play Louisville next. There is also a split on the Indiana / Florida game, and again I went with Vegas and Silver's call for Indiana on this one (instead of BPI and Kenpom).

Louisville is the favorite, but the stats are close enough between Indiana and Louisville that Indiana is not a bad bet to win it all.

Never mind the pundits on the sports sites and TV channels, they're wrong more than they're right, trying to come up with "surprise" predictions (which if they make enough of them, someone is bound to predict some upsets).

I'm going with Indiana in this pool, also playing two more public pools with Louisville and Florida as winners. Using Silver's probability model, even though these three teams are the top three consensus favorites, the combined odds that one of these three will win is only 55%, meaning there is still a 45% chance some other team will take the title.

Go Hoosiers!

How did I get in first place, isn't going to last, unless Wichita State wins against Louisville.

I'm gobsmacked. I didn't think I'd do well at all.

There is surely something wrong with the universe. I join two brackets and win them both?

Any siggie must include the only possible explination:

Gobsmacked isn't the half of it...

Grats, Moly! I had a chance to win it if Michigan won the final game, and they were even up by 12 points! Gah! At least I won another pool with the Louisville pick, as well as the Pick 8 hosted by stan.

Well done, the Universe is humming along with you!
