I picked 67 of 68 teams and matched 49 seed lines.
My final bracket before Selection Sunday, graded against the committee's field on field selection and seed line. Regions, matchups and who won games are not part of the grade.
Where my seeds differed
19 of 68 teams. Missed selections first, then the largest seed errors. "Too high" means I seeded a team better than the committee did.
