Analysis of bracketologists

[Cycsk]

I did a little analysis of a few of the high profile bracketologists. Here are the results:

Lunardi got 47.5 of the seedings correct (18 also in the correct regional).
He got 24 of the Top 8 seedings.
Notable misses (by more than 1 seed rank): Louisville, Memphis.
Predicted by not picked for the tournament: West Virginia, Indiana.

Palm got 38.5 of the seedings correct (17.5 also in the correct regional).
He got 16 of the Top 8 seedings.
Notable misses (by more than 1 seed rank): Louisville, Illinois.
Predicted by not picked for the tournament: West Virginia, Indiana.

Bracketometry got 51 of the seedings correct (23.5 also in the correct regional).
He got 25 of the Top 8 seedings.
Notable misses (by more than 1 seed rank): Louisville, Memphis.
Predicted by not picked for the tournament: West Virginia, Indiana.

Lunardi did better than I expected, nearly as good as Bracketometry which is very highly rated. Palm sucks.

Good analysis and compare at Bracket Matrix. Over 300 projections tracked and scored. Palm near the very bottom as you mentioned.

I know CBS probably doesn’t care about Palm’s accuracy but the dude sucks at bowl projections too. He’s super bad but still gets a national audience which makes no sense.
