- Texas & Colorado State need deep runs In their respective tournaments to have a chance.
This race is tight and all disruptions in the Tourneys conference can shake the bubble. Selection on Sunday will be chaotic.
Commentary
Nick Raffoul, head of news at BBI, commented on Chatgpt’s findings:
“AI models such as Chatgpt’s deep research Are great in identifying statistical trends, but March Madness selections do not happen in a vacuum. The committee weighs things like injuries, momentum and historical prejudices that cannot fully quantify AI. That is why you will see some teams left with better statistics, while others sneak in based on things such as a major conference win in the season. AI gives us a strong basin line, but selection on Sunday always brings surprises. “
