Quick first take
More analysis (hopefully) later this week. First priority, of course, is filling out the brackets and second priority is watching the games.
Some highlights (all counts unofficial, and I'll double-check them later):
- 32 of 34 at-large teams correct - I had Illinois State and Dayton; the committee picked Oregon (CTD's second team out) and Kentucky (CTD's eighth team out). I had mentioned earlier in the week and today that Dayton and Kentucky could be tricky for CTD, so I'm not surprised. Illinois State is another of those mid-majors I was worried about.
- 27 of 65 (41.5%) seeds exactly right, 53 of 65 (81.5%) within 1 seed line, and 61 of 65 (93.8%) within 2 seed lines. Other than the two at-large teams I missed, the big seed misses were Butler (I had them No. 3; they were No. 7) and Indiana (had No. 5; were no. 8).
- I got all four No. 1 seeds correct along with their regions, as well as the correct pod sites for 9 of the top 12 teams on the S-Curve in my "unofficial" guess based on the CTD results.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the results this year.
