ESPN Computer Picks Vols Final Four

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Garbage in - garbage out. A “computer” model is really just a model that *someone* coded a computer to evaluate. It’s exactly as good or bad as the person who made it and the data they feed it.

I think that somebody dropped the box of punch cards and didn’t get them back in the right order before feeding them into the card reader.

1. Houston - 54.9% chance of reaching the Final Four.
2. Tennessee - 46.2% chance of reaching the Final Four.
3. Alabama - 33.4% chance of reaching the Final Four
4. UCLA - 25.7% chance of reaching the Final Four.

looks like the model values defense? Houston 2 and UT 3 are both top 3 rated defensive teams Alabama is a top 5 offensive team and all 4 teams are top 12 in point differential. By the maths it makes sense. Just not sure if the model can factor in ZZ being out and if it does to what extent? He was the heart of both our offense and defense.

Very interesting. Bet the powers that be at ESPN were little dissapointed.

It looks like even the ESPN computer did not escape the Wuhan lab.

This just in, the computer processed the data from the Missouri / Tennessee game and has requested a do over.
