Any statistics majors on board?
Forget formula: odds of only 2 teams from AAC in Tourney BOTH matched up against play in winners (play ins have now won 7 years in a row). I figure the odds to be astronomical and very unlikely to be random.

No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night---and you are correct on both.

About the same as two non-P5 teams getting matched in first round when one could be switched to have P5/non-P5 games instead.

Just because the odds of something happening may be low, that doesn't mean there is a conspiracy.

No the odds against it NOT being done purposely would be akin to hitting $1M powerball.

I thought this thread would be about how you knew more than 99% of all statistics majors.

Odds are 100% that 2 six seeds would play the winner of the play in game. Three of the 6 seeds lost in their opener.

I take it you don't have a business major where statistics was a requirement. A great course BTW. Your statement is so far from the truth, it's does not compute. (In cadence with "if they do not fit, you must acquit.

I was an accounting major in undergrad. I don't consider stats to be a "great" course. Quite frankly, the typing class I took as a sophomore at CBHS is much more useful on a day to day basis.

My buddy HoopDreams was a journalism major. I think both TG4 and btiger were pioneers in the Interdisciplinary Studies field.

Great typing skills would have really opened up a lot of avenues for you.

You missed my point. Both seem outliers.
