Bracket Projection Accuracy
As a result of the questionable job that the Selection Committee did with this year's bracket, not many bracketologists had an overly successful Selection Sunday. After the committee selected the teams, I looked back at the bracket predictions by yours truly and many other "bracketologists". Here is the breakdown; choose for yourself as to who was the most accurate:
March Madness All Season (Me): 62/65 teams correct, 31 seeded exactly, 50 teams within one seed line
Joe Lunardi (ESPN): 63/65 teams correct, 29 seeded exactly, 49 teams within one seed line
Stewart Mandel (CNN/SI): 62/65 teams correct, 23 seeded exactly, 48 teams within one seed line
Gregg Doyel (CBS Sportsline): 63/65 teams correct, 28 seeded exactly, 48 teams within one seed line

Lunardi got his 63rd team by putting in Seton Hall about an hour before the selection show.
inside information? he's a bum.
you're better
I think he put George Mason in right before the show, but the principle is the same.
He had GMU as the fifth team out heading into Selection Sunday, and then he had a change of heart and decided to jump them up seven spots?
If he had inside information, it's unfair. But, hey, I did better than him in the actual seeding, so that's good enough.
Joe Lunardi is one of the best bracket anaylists there is. He got 63/65 teams right and i think you should look toward him and Greg Doyel for anaylism and predictions.
Who do you fellas got in the final four and in the champion seat?
All the top bracketologists did a fine job. You’ve got to give Mr. Lunardi credit if he slid in a team before time expired… You don’t get inside information unless you’re in or close to earshot of the door. Though the selection committee made some mistakes, I highly doubt there was a late-inclusion leak.… Congratulations though on your 31-29 win in picking exact seeds.
