I’d be curious to see your model’s results for previous brackets as well

I take it in 2011 you didn’t re-run the entire bracket - just the individual games BYU would have played in with Davies.

I’m assuming your model would not have picked VCU in the Final Four, for example. Would it have predicted UConn to win it all?

The problem is, a full-strength 2011 BYU team isn't a #3 seed. BYU would like have a been a #1 or #2 seed
