We're doomed. Joe says UConn is going to win.

I think he can be fun to read, and his site is the most convenient one for looking at the necessary nitty-gritty details (less him, to be fair). He's also not the worst at his job. I do look forward to seeing the new brackets, but mostly for nostalgia's sake.

His whining here is insufferable, though. He looked bad and he knew it.

I thought Lunardi's piece was fine. His points on Syracuse, Monmouth and Tulsa seem perfectly fair.
It's also a fair point that matching the committee doesn't necessarily make you the best at this, because it sure looks like they're making it up as they go. NC State two years ago was a made-up pick, Tulsa this year. If you didn't have those teams in, you were being rational. It's not the analyst's fault if the committee is off the wall.

Let me get this straight, Lunardi can't guess what the committee is thinking?

 

[Jerry1714]

LOL. Why don't you let me in on the secret? I guess the rest of the dense world could also use your help... since the criteria used to select Tulsa and Syracuse seems to be lost on almost everyone.

A lot of people had Cuse (still a surprise).

I do not think anyone is faulting him for Tulsa, no one had them.

If you made your reputation claiming to be able to do exactly that, it's a problem.

The committee is predictably unpredictable. Every year they seem to use a new matrix for picking teams.

When you perform embarrassingly, do you get to keep the job?

Nope, but he will. ESPN created this little sideshow and they make up the rules.

 

[uconnbill]

The difference this year is there is not one team that stands out and anyone, just about any team can win it.

Go Huskies, even though we are doomed

Weather forecasters do

Weather forecasters do

Literally the most accurate predictions that exist.

I guess I'll leave this here. Just a quick funny clip for the anti-RPI folks.

Make the Committee Great Again
