The Seed Report – March Madness Edition

Welcome to the Seed Report
A Different Look at NCAA Tournament Predictions

Update
Let the madness begin!

The Seed Report is a multi-year project that involves several different people uniting for one purpose – the search for the perfect bracket. As of yet, no one has done it. Yet in a number of years, the principal architect of this report has maintained a success rate above 90%, He has also finished second in one national contest. In fact, he would have won that year if he had not gone against his data as he chose his favorite beloved team despite what the data showed. Alas, we all do it.

It’s March. Get ready for the madness.

Will you finally be the first to get a perfect bracket? Remember it’s only a 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. So no problem!
