It worked for me when downloaded and opened in Excel. It sows like eight teams with FGCU is the first row of data

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I wanted to hear. If all of my data sources update their information, I should have the full version of the StatSheet available by Monday.

Does anyone know how Pete's seed by seed guide would work out in first and second round upsets?

I'll add that UNC Wilm qualifies as a winner bc they were in the previous dance, as does Mid TN. Mid TN also qualifies due to front court scoring. Minn, Virg and ND all possess victim traits

Tentative Schedule

More article dates will be added as the season progresses
Sun Mar 12 to Thurs Mar 16: BRACKET CRUNCH WEEK (BCW)
BCW (Mon): All 3 OS/US Models and Champion Profile Model (Complete)
BCW (Tues): Quality Curve Analysis & Return-and-Improve Model (Complete)
BCW (Wed): Meta Analysis (Complete) & Briefs on SGLT (Posted)
BCW (Thurs): Final article (Complete). However, I was unable to get into any bracket contests (wanted to do YAHOO and MGM bracket challenges, but couldn't get logins to work on either) Oh well.

My Initial Thoughts/Reactions to the Bracket

Based on answers by the Committee Chairman and some of the patterns evident in the bracket, it seems there was a heavy reliance on the NET, especially Q1+Q2 record; SOS was less important. As always, a few easy picks will come from exploiting flaws in the Committee's appraisal of team quality. For the second year in a row, I'm miffed at some of the site selections. How does 9-sd AUB get to play in the state of ALA? Or 13-sd Iona playing in their home state of NY? 9-sd ILL playing next door in Des Moines, Iowa. In fact, KU has to play in the same building as TEX and TXAM, so I doubt these fans will be pulling for KU (TXAM might if ARK is their 2nd rd opponent). 6-sd CREI getting a closer site than 3-sd BAY, 11-sd AZST and 6-sd TCU getting closer to Denver than 3-sd Gonzaga, and 7-sd MIST getting closer to Columbus, OH than 2-sd MARQ. I understand keeping teams close to home to sell tickets, but you also have to protect top seeds because they earned it. For the record, I called out a lot of these issues last year, but all of the site favorability produced a losing record. Finally for documentation purposes, the Selection Show talked crap about BAY, UVA, SDST, IND, MIA-FL, STMY, and TENN as potential first-round upsets and HOU being undeserving of the 2nd 1-seed. There's nothing like hearing your team called in the bracket, then immediately getting called out on National TV as an upset victim. It will be interesting to see how these games play out.
