For what it's worth, I tabulated Pablo's score at 48/60. One difference, I think, is that I'm accounting for homecourt advantage. Therefore I have Pablo picking Texas over USC although USC's Pablo rating was ever so slightly higher (7180 vs 7145)

Also, for what it's worth I tabulated a score on behalf of The Committee and they tie with Pablo at 48.

I interpret the Committee's picks as being the same as using RPI with these exceptions - a) seeded team picked over unseeded team regardless of RPI, b) higher seeded team over lower seeded team regardless of RPI.

Hope you win .

That matches the analysis I did yesterday. Good luck to all the remaining competitors!
