Bracketology 101 - March Madness

Bracketology 101 - March Madness

Bracketology 101 has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and on the air on ESPN Radio and AOL Sports Bloggers Live. The site is designed to serve as a more reliable, more accurate alternative to the Bracketology selections of other major sports websites. Rather than predict teams based on the season ending today, or make wild predictions of the future, Bracketology 101 uses a unique "projection-prediction" method of selecting teams, giving fans a much more realistic idea of where their favorite teams stand in the eyes of the selection committee. While other bracketologists favor conferences or teams or rely entirely on RPI rankings in making their picks, we factor in a team's resume as a whole - big wins, bad losses, in and out-of-conference wins, upcoming schedules, conference tournament sites, and each team's overall strengths and weaknesses compared to other teams on the bubble. Our "Field of 65" will be updated every Monday throughout the season, with daily updates coming during Championship Week. Bracketology 101 has six years of projection experience, and last year correctly predicted 64 of the 65 tournament teams (98%).
