Does anyone have a scorecard on how Looney Lunardi stacked up against the committee? I’m not smart enough to do the research. Seem like as the end he starts to throw a lot of schools in the mix so he can never be wrong >

Not sure what that means. Compared to National Acadamy of Bracketology members? I believe he picked all but one or two teams correctly. Seeds might be a tad off but that's not what pisses people off about the goof but he is not wrong on who makes it and who does not. He's just knows the system so I don't get the hate.He did not do well...166th, I think
Do you realize how easy it is to do to get all the teams in there? He is actually very mediocre compared to many other guysNot sure what that means.

Then why do all you guys bitch about who he leaves out? Like he's the reason Pitt did not make the field. Why not whine a out those other 166 guys. He's just a messenger.Do you realize how easy it is to do to get all the teams in there? He is actually very mediocre compared to many other guys
Yeah like 90 pct of the field is a slam dunkDo you realize how easy it is to do to get all the teams in there? He is actually very mediocre compared to many other guys
Anyone want to take a stab at that question...Then why do all you guys bitch about who he leaves out? Like he's the reason Pitt did not make the field. Why not whine a out those other 166 guys. He's just a messenger.
Because he's obnoxious and a blowhard.Anyone want to take a stab at that question...
He gets the biggest bully pulpit. Imagine if at your job a guy whose performance is 150 spots below you gets the ear of the President of the company and you don’t?Then why do all you guys bitch about who he leaves out?

Not sure how you get a good “score”. In other words, how do you factor in the % of teams they got right with how they predicted the exact seed line? So if Lunardi was 166, he likely just missed more of the finer nuances.
But that doesn’t mean that his loud mouth didn’t influence the committee. And to me, that’s why it matters.
Perfect world - they have people that spend the year watching basketball as a job, AND can process which metrics could be a little off. For example - we KNEW Pitt played an imbalanced conference schedule in a good conference. They didn’t.
But if the ultimate goal is decide a champion, they likely don’t think there is a problem. Rarely would a contender ever get left out. And the mis-seeding actually lends itself to more “madness” which is what they want. Upsets aren’t always upsets, but appear to be if a lower seed wins.
