how is your bracket doing?

Earlier, I wrote about the NCAA basketball tournament. My brackets are not faring well, but I didn't have time to use any of the analytical methods that I recommended. There was a piece on the news about two College of Charleston undergraduates who used their brackets as a class project for their operations research class. There is even a video! (I had trouble viewing it). They predict the Final Four to likely be UNC, Kansas, Texas and Duke (Duke didn't make the Sweet 16).

Robert Siegel interviewed the two students (Neil Goodson and Colin Stevenson) on NPR.
