<p class="MsoNormal">The work of three ISyE professors was featured in the <em>AJC</em> for creating a system to rate tournament teams. The system, called <em>A Logistic Regression/Markov Chain Model for NCAA Basketball</em>, "predicted tournament games more accurately than the selection committee's seedings, the RPI, the Associate Press, and ESPN/USA Today polls and the Massey and Sagarin ratings."  And it's free for the download.  <a href="http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/sports/finalfour/stories/2007/03/12/0312ratings.html">Read full article here</a>.

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
