Big Blue?

Ryan over at the "Heels, Sox & Steelers Blog" uses a mathematical model to predict who'll win Sweet Sixteen match-ups. His model estimates a team's probability of winning based on team free throw percentage, field goal percentage, steals per game, rebounds per game and assist-to-turnover ratio.

His results vary little from my predictions (as I actually believe Texas is going to win, but picked Xavier for sentimental reasons): UConn, OSU, Syracuse, St. Joe's, UAB, Ga. Tech, Illinois and Texas.

Then again, that's why maybe we shouldn't let computers pick the BCS. Illinois over Duke? In my dreams.
