CBS has a nice little feature within their college hoops section which seeks to determine not just the winner of every college basketball games in the nation, but the exact score of those games. How good are they at predicting the winner? They show you the stats right on the page- and apparently they’re pretty good at getting the winner right. In the past five or so years they’ve been over 70% accurate at determining the winner. So far this season they’re predicting games with about 75% accuracy, the best to date. Possibly they’ve been getting more games correct because the beginning of the season often pits some of the stinky teams against the best teams; The conference schedule will be harder to predict.
What do they think about tonight’s best games? Here is a little sampling:
Oklahoma over Texas, 73-68
Davidson over Appalachian State, 79-71
Louisville over Notre Dame, 76-70
