NCAA Basketball Tournament Predictor

Note: The 2007 tournament will be ready on Monday. I'm sure you all can wait a day to try using rather poorly constructed guesses. I'm updating and rewriting some of the code to try and generate better guesses. Thank you for your patience.

Welcome to the NCAA Basketball Tournament Predictor. This program pays no attention to the likes of Dick Vitale, RPI, record, cuteness of mascot, or any of that other nonsense. It uses the simple, unbiased approach of random (well, pseudorandom) numbers. Enjoy!

Let's make a prediction

  • Run the predictor. This also gives the option of downloading a prediction file so you can compare the results later.

    • Let's see how right or wrong it was

  • Compare the results of a valid prediction file to actual results. You can see how your randomly generated predictions turned out.
    Note: currently under construction.

    • Let's compare it to history

  • Runs the predictor for years past and sees how well the prediction went.
    Note: Under Construction, will probably be in this state for quite a while.

    • Other info

  • How this program works
  • Current version and revision information
  • Interesting stats (under construction)
