As I said I thought he was always the top of the game.   And part of the reason I liked him was because he provided good input during the process -- many can throw the numbers in the end and that is not how I value bracketologists.   But even that input seems a little less this year (or maybe I am not looking for it)

This year he has had some strange choices that just don't make sense.

In terms of historical results, the documented results don't really back up your claims.   In the last 5 years, he is ranked 61st out of 88 on the matrix.   But in his defence the final bracket is sometimes a crapshoot **, and to me the best bracket guys are those that share good insight throughout the year -- which he has done.   But this year, don't know.

** I probably would not be much higher, and it's a little easier for random Jim.   Jim can change his mind, and move teams around arbitrarily but it is harder for someone that has to lock in his opinion on a major site.   Most year  I put together a bracket here on the last day and check what I did vs the matrix.  I think 3 years ago, I would have been top 4 or 5.   But I think the year after I went bottom 10.

Not to pick on a fellow Syracuse Fan, as SyracuseFan7 has had great results at the end.  Can't deny that and if he posts here he should take kudos for it.   But if you look at his website he has posted 2 brackets all year, and last one was 9 days ago.  So he is very good at predicting, but he is not somewhere you go for information.
