As is said every year -I was just going to ask if the actual brackets matched Creme's. I'm glad they don't.
Keeping LSU as a top team is just a continuation of all the years Tenn was picked way past their prime and were eliminated early in the post season- only to be rated highly again the following year.
- Charlie is attempting to predict what the committee will do.
- He is usually very accurate with the teams that are in and out. Usually misses one. Sometimes a couple. This usually involves teams that are a bit unpredictable. The committee's specific thinking within the parameters they are following appears to vary from season to season.
- He is decent at seed line. To the extent he errs, again, it is often "could be either" choices. In previous years where geography was extra important, that sometimes would trip him up as well. But I doubt very many folks really have the experience to produce the results he does.
All that said, the actual regions / sub-regions is typically just guessing. I have never placed any great stock in that part of his work. He's not always wrong, but if I was traveling to follow my team I wouldn't make a reservation based on his guess.
