Happy Wednesday! Sorry I missed Tuesday; midterms are crazy!
ABC Bracketology - 03/04/2020
About today's wild bracket:
-Booming: Duke, Michigan St., Rutgers, Purdue, Texas
-Busting: NC St., Maryland, Kentucky, Penn St., Iowa, Marquette, Oklahoma, Mississippi St., Alabama (yikes)
-Bubble:
-Last 4 Byes: Purdue, Cincinnati, Texas Tech, USC
-Last 4 In: Providence, Stanford, Arizona St., Richmond
-First 4 Out: Texas, Utah St., Mississippi St., Arkasnas
-Next 4 Out: Rhode Island, NC St., Tennessee, Minnesota (UCLA is 16th out)
-This bracket is the most ridiculous so far:
-Maryland and Michigan are in the same region. They only play once in the regular season, so this is allowed as long as they don't play each other in the conference tournament.
-Kentucky is a 5-seed? What? The ABC punished them very hard for their loss to the Vols.
-Oklahoma is (questionably) still a 9-seed after falling to Texas. They are probably in a much more bubbly situation than the ABC makes it seem.
-The metrics still are not a fan of UCLA. What will it take for them to enter the bubble conversation?
-The ABC is not influenced by my opinions in any way. It is a formula that seeds teams based on a composite of rankings. The goal of this project is twofold: to show and emphasize where metrics would seed teams without any human bias, and to eventually achieve a possible objective bracketology method that may someday be comparable to that of a human bracketologist.

Akey Bracket Composite - 03/01/2020
IT'S MARCH. TIME TO GED MAD.
ABC Bracketology - 03/01/2020
I don't have much free time today, unfortunately. I'll try to edit in booms/busts/bubble tonight or tomorrow.
-UCLA is the 13th team out at the moment. This may seem outrageous, and it is, somewhat. They are 75th in NET and 94th in BPI, so these two metrics are definitely weighing the Bruins down. The funny thing is Arizona is top 15 in both of these metrics, and the Bruins beat them last night! We'll see what UCLA needs to do to get in.
-The ABC is not influenced by my opinions in any way. It is a formula that seeds teams based on a composite of rankings. The goal of this project is towfold: to show and emphasize where metrics would seed teams without any human bias, and to achieve a possible objective bracketology method that may eventually be comparable to that of a human bracketologist.
