So let's compare my 1-68 to the committee's.
Here's how we do this. I'll add up how far off I was on each individual rank, and average them out. I believe this is a better way to evaluate bracketologist performance, since we're all trying to replicate the S-Curve, not the seed lines.
I was off a total of 151 spots over 67 teams, for an average of 2.253 spots per team. This is the equivalent of missing every single team by half a seed line.
The Bracket Matrix, assembled as a whole, was off 125 spots over 67 teams, for an average of 1.866. On first inspection, anything under 2.00 is exceptional, IMO.
