Computer Program Accurately Picks NCAA Basketball Champion

Newspaper current event by milhous on 14 April 2008, tagged as ncaa, basketball, college, and sports

The top ranked graduate school in Industrial and Systems Engineering, according to the U.S. News and World Report 2009 rankings, has even more reason to gloat as three professors have developed a program that accurately picked Kansas to win the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, last Monday night.

With NCAA football using the BCS ranking system, one would wonder if the NCAA basketball selection committee would opt to use a similar system in order to rank next year's tournament, or is human error part of the fun in "bracketology"?
