As threatened in passing earlier, I went through the NCAA Tournament field, picking the games based on the ranking of Ph.D. programs in Physics (I set the “Scholarly quality of program faculty is high” weight to 5, and left everything else off). I entered it on Yahoo, which provides a spiffy PDF version for those who want to see the full bracket.
The Final Four ends up being Maryland, Texas, Illinois, and Stanford, which would’ve made some sense about five years ago, but isn’t really all that likely this year…
