Charlie is not wrong to place USF in UConn's bracket, as he is partially going off recent history.  In both the 2015 and 2016 NCAA tournaments, USF has been placed in UConn's bracket (see [URL='https://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/basketball-women/d1/2015']2015 [/URL]and [URL='https://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/basketball-women/d1/2016']2016[/URL]).

Charlie doesn't know too much about women's basketball, but he really does understand NCAA bracketing principles.  But he has trouble projecting the bracket because the committee changes which rules they follow.  Sometimes it's because there are conflicting rules, and sometimes it's because they come up with a different S-curve than him.  He analyzes their projections (the reveals) because it tells him how this particular seeding committee evaluates data, which should improve his brackets.  He honestly doesn't do too bad, as his final bracket is usually fairly close.  Now his early brackets are sort of ridiculous, but at least they get us talking.
