13- 2
14- 2
15- 2
16- 2

25 out of 65 correct ----> 38.5% correct

teams in PT's field not in actual tourney ---> 3

Seedings missed by 2 spots or more -----> 13

Big misses ---> Utah State - PT @ 7, actual 11
Boston Coll - PT @ 11, actual 7

Exact match-ups picked ----> 1

overall, not bad, IMO ... no way to pick pods correctly, a little over ambitious in my book, so i didn't tabulate that ...

yeah, i don't think he did a bad job at all ... hit 3 out of 4 #1 seeds, and i agreed with him .. i thought memphis deserved a 1 seed ... when's the last time 3 out of 4 #1 seeds didn't win their conference tourney ?

he prolly shouldn't have tried to label the pods on his pics .. that was a little over ambitious there and the NCAA did some questionable shite with those pods ... why do you put #3 villanova IN philadelphia ?

The whole concept of pods, as I best understood it, was to keep all teams as close to home as humanly possible, while protecting the top 4 seeds in each region. Since Nova's home court is not technically the Wachovia Center, and since the conference and not the school, is the host, it made sense if that was the goal.

I think I got most of the pods right on mine, obviously screwing up when the committee went crazy with some of the seeding lines.

Not too over-ambitious. Just messes up when the seedings are wrong.

Tigahrag and everyone else,

Thanks for the kind words. Major props to you Rag for tabulating all that. I bet 225 crushed me, but hey - it was all in fun.

I tried my damndest and hopefully I will only get better. I really, really enjoy this stuff.

At first, I thought this would be a bash thread, as I wasn't sure if you were going in the "Look how off he was!" direction.

The pods definitely screwed me up. I wish I wouldn't have been paying so much attn to them. The committee surely didn't! Ask Miss State and Arizona.

nah .. i thought you did a really nice job with it .. hitting almost 40% of the seeds correctly was a nice hit ... i gave you a hall pass on the pods .. .. that was just too hard to predict and the NCAA did some interesting things with those .. maybe next year, don't worry about pod locations ... i enjoyed what you did all season ... haven't had a chance to see how lundardi did yet ..
