I found a study in the Bracketology Journal (Volume 2, Issue 7) entitled “Chimpanzee’s or Bracketologists?” Oddly, the same researchers that conducted this study also, recently published a study which showed that HGH does not increase athletic performance. Intrigued I began to read the study. The panel of college basketball experts were: Billy Packer (CBS), Bill Raftery (CBS/ESPN), Dick Vitale (ESPN Deportes), Andy Katz (ESPNU), Luke Winn (CNN/SI), Jay Bilas (ESPN ACC), Bob Knight (Coaches Union), John Wooden (Elder Statesmen), Jim Boheim (Syracuse Should Be In Society), Joe Lunardi (Self Proclaimed Bracketologist) The Chimpanzee’s looked completely over matched in this contest.
