NCAA Random Bracket
It's time to break out the Dick Vitale Bobblehead for the NCAA Tournament. The only sheets I am doing this year are the ESPN free bracket contests, so that makes 5 sets of guesses total. First is the traditional 'Inga and John' bracket that we always do together. We each do half and then coin flip for the winner. Then there is a sheet for the Deadspin and Chicagoist groups and one 'risky picks' bracket.
The last sheet is a little test I've always wanted to do. I've had friends in the past who have done the entire NCAA bracket by. In that spirit, I did a weighted random selection based on seeding. For example, in the selection between a #1 and #16 seed, the #1 seed had a 16x greater chance of being picked than a #16 seed. I know this is a flawed system, but what the heck, I wanted to give it a try. Right now it looks no crazier than any of my other sheets.
In the interest of bad science, I will be posting how the weighted random bracket does in relation to the 4 other sets of picks.
(Note to alarmists: There is no gambling involved in the ESPN NCAA brackets...)
