-KenPom did extraordinarily well, even beating chalk. His rankings are currently in the 98th percentile at ESPN.
-Amusingly enough, the most predictive poll was the Yahoo Fans, narrowly edging out AP, coaches, and ESPN polls.
-RPI is the worst computer ranking so far (though it does have a good upside). It is only narrowly beating "Total Tourney Wins", a ranking unconnected to the current teams.
-The ranking with the highest possible score is Transitive Margin, which only lost two Elite Eight teams and still has its entire Final Four.
The original rankings and brackets. I've created a ESPN group with most of the brackets here.
