Lunardi's Crystal Ball

So I incredulously posted a year ago, April 10 2007 to be exact, that Lunardi already had his 08 Bracket filled out. Let's see how he did:

1 seeds: He nailed 3 out of the 4. The one he missed was UCLA, which he had as a 2 in the same regional. And he had Louisville which turned out to be a 3, so that wasn't too far off.

2 seeds: 0 right. He had high hopes for NC State and Georgia Tech, who didn't even make the tourney.

Other hits: He had Wash St as a 4, Gonzaga as a 7, Arizona and Davidson as 10 seeds. That's it.

7 out of 64 seeds, a year in advance.

He had plenty that were close, but plenty that were also way off.

But here's the big question? How many tourney teams did he have right?

8 in the East, 10 in the Midwest, 11 in the South, 9 in the West, by my count.

38 out of 64. I'm not that impressed.

Hmm, let's take one last look at the Big Ten.

Projected Seeds:
2 Michigan State
3 Indiana
4 Ohio State
5 Illinois
9 Wisconsin
10 Purdue

Actual Seeds:
5 Michigan State
8 Indiana
na Ohio State
na Illinois
3 Wisconsin
6 Purdue

Far be it for me to say that he really doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. I'll just stand by my original opinion that it's pointless to start Bracketology until after New Year's.
