Unlike my picks, some things don\u2019t change – that of course is my bracketology and handicapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My bracketology only got 66 of 68 teams right – and while it is some comfort that the two teams I missed on both lost in the playin game – Wyoming and Rutgers, which means that my teams (Texas A&M and Oklahoma) couldn\u2019t have done worse, my main purpose of guessing what the committee will do failed miserably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would have scored 321 points on the method used by the Bracket Matrix site, which would have put me in almost dead last. Once again, I do decent in the front of the bracket and the end of the bracket, and do horribly at seeding the middle. Oh well – at least the CBS bracketologist did almost as bad as I did at 326 points. Guess it still proves my point that I can do close to as good as someone paying attention all year. But one of these years, I want to get the seeding right. I will have to remember that they don\u2019t tend to weigh the conference tournament as much as I think they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there is still 30 more bets to make on my handicapping page, I am down $31 imaginary dollars. I am sure that the Lunatic Casino might be willing to make me even by comping me an imaginary dinner at the buffet. Once again, I am doing awesome on the totals, 50\/50 on the spreads, and losing most of my locks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
