2011 Bracket Challenge

I like how 61.5% have picked UMD to come out of the region, however I think that number might be inflated by the number of Sioux fans who want to see Yale fail!

That's actually one of the biggest reasons I started paying attention to the KRACH predictions, because it's an interesting comparison for measuring bias.

In this case, UND fans REALLY like UMD. KRACH only gives you a 30% chance of emerging from the region. Another interesting one, because it goes the other way on a WCHA team, is KRACH giving BC vs. CC 69%-31% odds, while we picked it 88-12. Sioux fans seem to over-respect UMD, BC, and UND; and under-respect Yale, Union, UNH, Michigan, Denver, and CC.

No real shocks there, though it also wouldn't have been shocking if BC had gone the other way. Wishful thinking, I guess :D

The prediction for 2011 is simple .............

1997 Packers win the Super Bowl

1997 Fighting Sioux win the WCHA

1997 Fighting Sioux win the Broadmoor Trophy

1997 Fighting Sioux win the Regional

1997 FIGHTING SIOUX WIN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

It is looking like a repeat in 2011 :D

BTW ....... the Leafs shut out the Mild 3-0 tonight

I'm sure the Red Wings will also become Sioux fans, now that they know this. :)

I went 0 for 4 yesterday. The one game I picked with my head (BC over CC), I got just as wrong as the ones I picked with my heart. On the bright side, I could go 4 for 6 today.

I just confirmed today that I allowed myself to get hosed again.

I now have to buy a round of golf with Goon.

Hey Goon: Live it up. This bracket challenge is the last time I bet on any sort of sports prediction for the rest of my days. Good grief. In gambling, there's no such thing as a sure thing... except that I'll inevitably predict incorrectly.
