Similarity Previews: KC-Area Teams

[NOTE: Some of this is cross posted over at Upon Further Review, a great KC-area sports blog.]

With the success of the similarity predictions so far (WARNING: extremely small sample size):



I figured I’d continue down this path, at least until I start to see some bad results.  I’ll be doing a comprehensive preview of the first round games that highlights the instances where the similarity prediction dovetails from the standard Pomeroy prediction, but first I’m going to tackle the match ups involving teams that are of interest to UFR readers.  Any system that pegs the KU and KSU games as anything other than huge mismatches probably involves throwing things off the Empire State Building, so I won’t spend much time on those games.  The more interesting game is Missouri-Clemson, so that’s the one I’ll start with, and focus on.

Tickets Punched: #18 - #26

This series is turning out to be more writing than I have time for, so most of today’s teams will be posted without comments.  The charts are all still here, though, and those are really the important part.
