It's all going to depend on which metrics they value the most. If you look at NET rankings, you get a very different predictive measure than what we're seeing on television. By the way, Lunardi ranked 118th among "bracketologists" over the past 5 years. I actuallly like him, but it amazes me how people (me included) hang on every projection.
Lunardi is very good at what he does…I wouldn’t take the Bracketmatrix’s scoring system as some type of definitive guide
118 out of 179.
And they have seeding way too impactful, and getting the teams correct less so. And give no credit at all to correctly getting regions and pod sites correct, one of the more technical aspects of it. They made up a scoring system, and it’s great that they track it all, but many put way too much stock into it.
I'm going to take your word for it because I could not find a "scoring criteria" on their web site. However, they do accept and score seed lines. But, that's neither here nor there, I will be interested to see what metrics are valued the most by the committee. I like looking at NET rankings and Ken Pom. Quad 1 wins seem to be the hottest topic by the TV guys. It may end being the case. If it's not, I'm interested in what was.
Here is their methodology…

7-41 at halftime. Michigan has great interior defense, but Wisconsin just isn’t pushing enough, they’re settling.
I was hoping that you would have told us the meteor won... Oh well. Carry on.
It was a tough year because the last 3-4 teams all had major flaws. Only one bid stealer (Colorado St) contributed to it.
Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of interest in watching the SEC tournament part 2. Maybe it will be like the year the Big East got a ton of teams in it and only like one of them got to the Elite 8.
We apparently turned down any postseason bids. Based on the NIT field, I'd be shocked if we wouldn't have been invited if we wanted to play in it.
West Virginia lost their best player around Xmas. They had two Q1 wins (Kansas & Iowa State) after he got hurt. Carolina had 1 Q1 win the entire season. They're the ones that have the biggest gripe.

Seriously…it’s so ridiculous to try and get the courts involved.WVU snub 'robbery' at highest level, gov. says
West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey wants his attorney general to investigate and work closely with the NCAA to ensure the men's tournament selection process is transparent and fair.
I should move to West Virginia, seeing as they have no real issues to deal with.

They still didn't belong (since it's based on what you've actually done to date, not your "potential")...just as if Kansas goes out and wins it all, the committee wasn't incorrect to give them a 7 seed. But they certainly are good enough to make a run.
i understand all of this, probably better than you as a former D3 coach, but its more of the fact that they at least came out with the 'lets prove them wrong' mentality and helped their AD out
defenders lost their responsibilities and ran in to each other. Man on the ball was not much of a presence to affect the pass either. If you arent going to be 'big' on the ball, you need to drop him back as a safety to help in the middleAlabama St. wins thriller with own spin on Hail Mary
Amarr Knox's layup with a second left lifted Alabama State to its first NCAA tournament win, 70-68 over Saint Francis in a matchup of No. 16 seeds in the First Four.
