Thrilled to announce that I have predicted the most accurate bracket projection of all-time per https://t.co/VJQKyEiayM. My projections outperformed ESPN, FOX Sports and more as I correctly predicted each of the 68 teams in the tournament, as well as 61 of their seeds correctly.
@angustrangmoe@bracketproject When next season rolls around, go to the Bracket Matrix page and scroll down to the bottom where they’ll be a form you can fill out to have your bracket included in the matrix👍
We finished tied for 2nd in Bracket Matrix in our first season being involved.
Thank you to @bracketproject for including us and for the accumulation of work done throughout the season!
Now it’s time to sit back and watch the tournament play out… the best time of the year
