New bracketology by Joe

Only a handful of teams are bubble teams. Anyone could get 65,66 67 or all 68 teams correct.
I see this a lot and I don't totally agree with it. Do we know they are bubble teams bc we read that they are bubble teams? Or, if you (or anyone) didn't have any information from individuals that put brackets together, would you be able to look across college basketball and identify a handful of bubble teams on your own?
 
Palm has us the 2nd 4 seed behind Alabama!

Yeah I think without knowledge of others selections if one was to look in depth they would come to similar conclusions on teams.

I do agree tho. There is a bit of a bias in that someone could essentially just log onto the Bracket Matrix, take the average and get like 66 teams right. Would they know that if they didn't log in tho and were completely without knowledge of others? If they did the research, yes I think so. Look at the NET, look at records in the quads, look at team sheets with the game logs and that gets you the majority of the way IMO.

I will say this tho every year I do this there's a handful of teams (maybe 2 to 4 teams) where they rate out pretty good IMO and I wonder to myself why those teams aren't even being considered.
