PrintHere's a quick recap of how well I predicted the actual bracket. Tomorrow evening, I'll be back with a line by line review. I'll first spend some more time reviewing the Committee's handiwork.
- 33 of 34 at-larges correctly picked (Arizona is the only one missing. I took Creighton instead.)
- 31 teams correctly seeded (Obviously, the big miss here was picking Memphis over UConn for the last number one seed.)
- 22 teams seeded within one line. (This is an important stat because the committee will often move teams up or down a seed line to fulfill bracketing rules.
- 9 teams seeded within two lines. (This is a bit higher than I'd like to see.)
- 2 teams off by 3 lines - Utah State and Boston College. (Oddly enough, I had moved the Eagles up to a 7 to meet a bracketing rule in my Sunday morning bracket.

overall good seeding I think.......
I liked yours a lil more than the actual one…….just for Cinderella’s sake…….its just hard for me to get behind a 12 seed like Arizona as a Cinderella story…..
but all and all its good IMO
