I have taken the latest Joe Lunardi bracket from ESPN and applied my DPPI ratings to determine the odds of each team winning the NCAA Tourney. As you can see, Michigan St. and Kansas have equal probability of winning at 13%. KU has a 36% chance of making it to the Final Four while Michigan St. has a 33.5% probability. West Virginia and Indiana round out the likely Final Four. Below the table is the bracket generated by my DPPI probability. I will update once the actual bracket is set and then after every round.

Hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but this is Lunardi's Mar 10th. He has a not so funny one out today. All Kansas playing in Des Moines and all Iowa in Denver.

According to a site that aims to rank all of the bracketologists out there...

This Guy has the best track record. Who knows? But if you go by him, KU would be in Des Moines/Chicago, as would Wichita State, but KU wouldn't face them there. Instead, we'd draw the toughest projected 8-seed foe of all 4 regions in game two: Wisconsin. A very winnable game, but holy Moses, not the kind of opponent you want to draw for your second game (much less as the top overall seed).

Nothing really matters, of course, until the actual brackets are released, but I do know one thing: if KU, Villanova, and the winner of the ACC tourney (if either UNC or UVA) are virtual "locks" for the one seed, that leaves OU and Michigan State duking it out for the final slot. And if by some cruel twist of fate Michigan State was otherwise destined to get a "2" and wind up in the Midwest with KU (which this bracketologist doesn't project, mercifully), then I say GO WEST VIRGINIA (tonight) to ensure OU gets bumped off the 1 line by Sparty (if the latter takes the Big 10 tourney). I've said it before--I don't want KU to have to face Michigan State until it's a FF or NC matchup.

Again, all a bit of a crapshoot, but fun to speculate on...

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

That strengthens KU's bracket and reduces our probability. We now have an 11.5% chance of winning it all. Just for reference, if we make it into week 2 (Sweet 16) our probability increases to 17.7% chance of winning it all and roughly a 46% chance of making the Final Four.

I have tickets for the Denver games so have studied the brackets. Denver has middle seeds and Des Moines has high and low seeds. So no way Kansas goes to Denver (alas, for me). The Iowa schools will be middle seeds so will go to Denver. Wichita St will scrape in as a bottom seed so will go to Des Moines.

The current issue of Sports Illustrated just out gives KU a 15% chance and Mich St a 13% chance. That is why every 50-50 ball matters. go get 'em Jayhawks!

MM - I feel your pain re the selection of teams likely to be in Denver. What a year for Denver to have games, when are 3 other sites (Des Moines, OKC, & St Louis) that are closer to Lawrence. For that reason, I didn't buy tickets this year (saving my shekels for the FF).
I see Joey Brackets is sticking with his farcical Des Moines bracket - KU vs WSU in 2nd round.
CJ - how does today's bracket shake out re odds?

The brackets are pretty well balanced as you can see from the top table.
