I've never heard of or seen this model before but it states that Pitt has over a 99% chance of making the tournament based on historical RPI and resume comparisons. Over the past 3 years, this model has correctly predicted 98% of the field.
"Dance Card" Model
If we do wind up getting into the tournament, I'm really hoping we avoid the 8/9 game, or better yet the entire 1-seed side of the bracket. I think the field drops off considerably after the 1-seeds and probably two of the 2-seeds. With the right matchups, I think Pitt could make it to the second weekend as an underdog. Obviously it's early but I like how this team has developed offensively.
