Bracketology

The best two-and-a-half weeks of the sports year start today (I know that “play-in” games were held earlier).  Since this site strives to be “data-driven” (check out the masthead) and since we tend to suck both at math in general and at probabilities, as a public service I offer this video explaining the likelihood that you (or anyone else) will have a perfect bracket this year. 

As a further public service, Nate Silver’s bracket analysis and that of the Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective are linked below.

• Nate Silver’s Tournament Bracket and Forecast
• Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective: Predicting the Madness

And as one final public service, please enjoy the following too.  I always do.
