- Chip Patterson argues debates could be fueled the same way using multiple bracketologists instead of a clandestine committee.
Use Multiple Bracketologists Instead
- Replace the single televised committee reveal with multiple bracketologists to keep debate but avoid manufactured secrecy.
- Danny Kanell recommends using different projections to represent small ranking differences instead of a single authoritative committee.
Records Trump Strength Of Schedule
