2009 Predicted NCAA WINS generated by a Computer Program

The unique thing about this program is that it isn't based on anything that has ever been publicly calculated before. The computer wins were done by using elements of the game and then forecasting them across the season. Maybe the strangest coincidence was how the teams ended much like they did in the NCAA Tournament.
