Madness Coefficient and Cinderella Plot updated through the Final Four

Time Series and the Final Four

MDS and the Final Four

The “madness” has subsided

After the craziest start to the NCAA tournament in 20+ years, the madness has died down a bit.  The Elite will feature three number 1 seeds, two number 2 seeds, a 3, 4, and a 7.

March Madness through the Sweet Sixteen: Second craziest since 1990

The first round of this NCAA tournament was the craziest dating back to 1990, and through two round (I don’t acknowledge the First Four as a round) this is the second craziest tournament over the same time period behind only 1996.  1996 featured a 12 seed in the sweet sixteen as well as a 1 seed knocked out in the round of 32.  2012 might be crazy, but all four number 1 seeds are still around.

Note: Projected madness is based on higher seeds winning all remaining games.

Cheers.
