Honestly just let some AI program build the bracket at this point
I definitely think last 10 games should be a metric they consider.
crazy to say this, but unless we get to the final four somehow, I don’t see how Pollard doesn’t get blamed.
well this gives credence to my theory that his peers don’t like him.We've been seeded under the bracketmatrix average all of the last 3 years.
2022- 9.52 average (third 9)- seeded 11
2023- 5.19 average (highest 5) seeded 6
2024- 1.92 average (highest 2) seeded lowest 2
Will be interesting to see if that changes next year.

The entire idea that your recent performance shouldn’t matter more than games that happened in November is monumentally stupid. Your recent form should absolutely mean more.
This just proves that the committee is full of pencil pushing nerds, get some ex-coaches, ex-players, people that actually know ball on the committee. That is if you want it to actually be about the competition and not just selling tickets.
There are people like Gary Parrish whose only job is watching college basketball and formulating rankings on a pretty much daily basis. Not saying he should be on the committee, but might be a good consultant to have around. The Top 25 + 1 is the only non-computer ranking I look at.
Problem is… JP’s son IS the MBB’s resident data scientistThey need to get some data scientists and bracketologists in the room instead of all 12 being ADs and commissioners. We all know they don't understand the metrics and don't watch more then 50 games a year
Why did he feel the need to come out and say this the day before our game? He had to know that'd piss the fanbase off right?The really fun part is going to be when some national source grabs this and runs with this story.
