2007 NCAA March Madness Decided by Wiki
March 15, 2007
As seen on ESPN 8, The "OCHO"
Last year, the Wagon based its NCAA basketball picks purely on Link Building. Could we get any more arbitrary? The answer is yes. As a warm up for the 2008 Election and its impending battle on the wiki field, we will base this year's NCAA picks on who has the biggest wiki.
The below predictions are based entirely on whose wiki article performs best at Google for its school's title.
(13)Davidson College Wiki Article is #6
(4)The University of Maryland Wiki Article is #39
Prediction: Davidson wins big! You heard it here first.
(10)Texas Tech University Wiki Article is #46
(7)Boston College Wiki Article is #5
Prediction: All BC!
(11)Stanford University Wiki Article is #9
(6)University of Louisville Wiki Article is #6
Prediction: Louisville dares to be slightly greater than Stanford in Google? These numbers might change.
(14)Oral Roberts University Wiki Article is #4
(3)Washington State University Wiki Article is #37
Prediction: Oral Roberts in an organic landslide.
(12)Old Dominion University Wiki Article is #16
(5)Butler University Wiki Article is #7
Prediction: Butler, in a close one.
(15)Belmont University Wiki Article is #6
(2)Georgetown University Wiki Article is #8
Prediction: Others will call it an upset, but Belmont has the tournament's best optimized title at the TLD. This is a sure thing.
(14)University of Pennsylvania Wiki Article is #7
(3)Texas A&M University Wiki Article is #71
Prediction: If we chose the winner by most subdomains, it would be Aggies. Instead, it's a blow out.

(16)Central Connecticut State University Wiki Article is #31
(1)The Ohio State University Wiki Article is #30

March Madness is a popular term for season-ending basketball tournaments played in March, especially those conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and various state high school associations. March Madness is also a registered trademark... The trademark has sparked a pair of high-profile courtroom battles in recent years.
