We'll see about GT.

Been watching ESPN off and on all night, NV.

No mention of this Lunardi dude.

Lunardi started making his bracketology picks for the Blue Ribbon Tournament Yearbook, which he edited. This guy is GOOD and rarely misses more than 1-3 picks and usually is pretty close in picking seeds, too.

Good article about him here:

For those that ever got the Blue Ribbon Tournament Book, they're doing one this year (although Lunardi is no longer part of the production, I think).

Then you missed him because he was definitely on during their selection show. He gave himself a C- this year for his predictions because although he got 63 of the 65 that were invited, he wasn't that accurate with the seeds.

That and 99 cents will get him coffee at McDonald's.

Considering that this is one of his main tasks for ESPN, I'd say that he is being paid a lot more than that for this.

How can you have watched college basketball for the last 10 years and be surprised at Duke's seed? Past performance? and the conference they belong to had them ranked higher than they should have been all season.
How far " Past performance"? Last year is last year. The question is what will this years team do? Not too much, I don't think. They should win their 1st round and then Pittsburgh...could be serious trouble.

Maryland, I have going to the sweet 16. Then they are in serious trouble. But with Maryland, you NEVER, NEVER know...they could lose the 1st round or to the final 4....

Maryland will have their hands full with Davidson. They've lost one game since Nov.25, going 25-1 in that stretch. Who'll show up, the team that beat Carolina in College Park and Duke in Durham or the team that lost in Tampa?
