So, the NCAA brackets are out. Syracuse got left out of the field, which is what Jim Boeheim gets for sneering at the selection committee in public. And also for not playing a game outside the state of New York until late January...
Maryland, at least, is in, seeded #4 in the St. Louis region, where they'll play Dave Munger's Davidson team in Buffalo on Thursday. They're doomed.
Why are they doomed, you ask? Well, for one thing, Davidson has a pretty good team, and is just the sort of program that Maryland might easily overlook.
More importantly, though, they're cited in the New York Times as a team that "may perform better than expected", on the basis of Ken Pomeroy's statistics.
They're doomed.

I don't think you've got anything to worry about, Chad. And why haven't you signed up for the Scienceblogs tournament pool yet?

I'll get there.
I generally don't sign up for contests until after the brackets have been announced.
