[QUOTE="danielb927, post: 1888942, member: 3372"] I've been trying to describe this in a useful mathematical way for like a decade (well, short spurts every March, anyway). It's tricky, but fun to me at least. Since ESPN and other sites publish a "who picked whom" page showing the popularity of each team, and predictive rating systems like KenPom give a decent estimate of actual team strength, there should be an "optimal" bracket for any size of pool and scoring system.
