I've gotten to the point where I ignore Palm just about. He's much worse than Lunardi.

Lunardi got the better of Palm last season, but one season better than 70th place in the last four years isn't much to brag about.

As much as fans want to dream about 7-8 teams in the NCAA, 6 sounds about right. Might squeeze one more in depending on BET.

Nah, I think 6 is the worse case scenario, 7 is most likely and 8 is definitely in play.

noticed you left out 2015 where Lunardi was at 343 to Palm at 328.

The 5 year average is Lunardi at 339.2 to Palm at 334.2.

Joe Lunardi - Wikipedia

Joseph Lunardi is an American college basketball analyst for ESPN who is best known for creating Bracketology, which he calls the "art and science" of predicting the teams that will be selected in the annual NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. He is well-known as the resident bracketologist for ESPN. Lunardi correctly predicted all 65 teams to appear in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.

Lunardi has stated that his first bracket for ESPN received 250,000 hits in the first 90 minutes posted. His brackets sometimes receive millions of hits over the course of a season. Since then, he has been a fixture on ESPN's Bracketology program and on SportsCenter, especially during the months of February and March in the run-up to the NCAA Tournament.

stever – if you want the most widely-read bracketology, you can post Lunardi. If you want more-accurate predictions, you can post Bracket Matrix. And if you just want to argue, you can piss off.

It's pretty funny that Bracketville and NBC brackets are identical as far as BE seedings are concerned.

they are the same because it's the same guy

they are the same because it's the same guy

Should have checked the rest of the bracket and figured it out.
