Well, yet another season regular season is past and it is time to reflect on how well we did projecting the brackets.
We hit on 64/65 teams (missing on Arizona State instead of Oregon).
We felt the Sun Devils deserved a bid in favor of Oregon because of a slightly better win against Xavier in the non-conference and one further win overall. We can't really argue the choice, since we had Oregon as our last team out (instead of Arizona State). Both teams beat Arizona State twice and beat Stanford. Arizona State was apparently left out due to a horrifically bad non-conference schedule (ranked #296 vs. #169 for Oregon). Wea made a choice and we missed. Next year we have to do just a little better.
We also hit on 36 teams seeded correctly (much better than last season's 28 out of 65) and 52 of 65 teams seeded within one line of their true seed (equally as good as last season).
We are happy we improved on our selection percentage over last season (when we only had 62 out of 65 teams). We are also happy we improved hitting on teams seeded exactly (36 in 2008 vs. 28 in 2007).
