What is Logistic Regression Markov Chain (LMRC) you may ask?  It is a tool that can be used to help with selecting and seeding the NCAA Tournament field.  Or if the NCAA does not want to use it for that perhaps you can use it to win your office pool.

According to this article LRMC has predicted 30 of the past 36 Final Four teams correctly.  That’s pretty impressive.  This year it predicted both the Final Four and Kansas as champion of the tournament. 

Something to keep in mind when putting together your brackets next March.  And I am looking forward to next year.  On a Sportscenter broadcast Dicky V had the Louisville Cardinals coming out of the gate as number three.
