*Misses:

  • I had Rutgers as an 11 seed, but they were First Four Out

  • I had Pittsburgh as my 1st team out, but they were an 11 seed

**Paymon Score:

  • 3 points for each team correctly picked, 3 points for each team correctly seeded, and 1 point for each team not seeded correctly but within one seed line

  • (67*3 + 45*3 + 20*1) = 356

  • Weighted average gives 5 points for the most recent year, 4 points for the prior year, etc., divided by total weight

  • [(-0.5)*5) + (0.0*4) + (-3.4*3) + (14.1*2)] / 14 = +1.11

***Average Deviation

  • (45*0 + 21*1 + 2*2) / 68 = 0.368

  • For calculation, I valued Pittsburgh as being within one seed line, since they were my 1st team out, and they're part of the Last Four In
