Ology my a**

ESPN's "Bracketology," courtesy Joe Lunardi (the funniest looking commentator on network television), attempts to approximate science in the final weeks before Selection Sunday.

Lunardi often contends that selection of teams for the NCAA Tournament is a science, based on hard data and assumptions. Therefore he should be - and has been - able to accurately predict most if not all of the tournament's teams ahead of CBS' Selection Special.

Fine. But then his current exercise - projecting next year's bracket - is the equivalent of a third grade science project on nuclear physics.
