He got 67/68 right..... but also got the exact correct seed for 57/68.... and +/- 1 seed line for 67/68.

- Jerry Palm (CBS) came in 107th place

- Joe Lunardi (ESPN) came in 121st place

- The consensus bracketmatrix pick... Taking into account all 229 in the aggregate.... was 67/68 correct, 56/68 seeded properly, and 66/68 seeded within 1 seed line.

- 218/229 had Rutgers in the field.

- 71/229 had Nevada in the field.

- 139/229 had Pitt in the field.

- 10/229 had Clemson in the field. Same with Vanderbilt.

- 9/229 idiots still had UNC in the field.

- 4/229 idiots still had Wisconsin in the field.

- Some idiot didn't have San Diego State in the field, despite the fact they were an automatic qualifier.

Joe Lunardi (ESPN) came in 121st place

Once again, people should keep that in mind when they are going nuts over what he says during the season.

On his site I think he's saying he got the highest score ever if I'm reading that correctly. Or 2nd best

ESPN should be flooded with messages telling them to do a deep dive on Lunardi and his so called expertise. ESPN could do better

The problem with guys who do daily updates is they have to raise or drop teams based on 1 game similar to poll rankings when in reality, one game may not do anything to increase or decrease your resume. You really cant be accurate and do the daily thing. Some of the better ones dont do many updates throughout the year.

I liked how CBS was bragging about Jerry Palm getting 67 of 68 right. 32 were given to him as AQs. Another 30, anyone could have gotten. So he was 5 for 6. I was 4 for 6. I had Clemson and Rutgers instead of NC State and Nevada.
