Bracketology : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bracketology Bracketology is the process of predicting the field of college basketball participants in the NCAA Basketball Tournament, named as such because it is commonly used to fill in tournament brackets for the postseason. It incorporates some method of predicting what the NCAA Selection Committee will use as its Ratings Percentage Index in order to determine at-large (non-conference winning) teams to complete the field of 68 teams, and, to seed the field by ranking all teams from first through sixty-eighth. Bracketology also encompasses the process of predicting the winners of each of the brackets. In recent years the concept of bracketology has been applied to areas outside of basketball.〔(Sorting It All Out... with Brackets : NPR )〕〔(The Tournament of Books ) at The Morning News〕 ==Background== Joe Lunardi is credited with inventing the term ''bracketology''. Lunardi had been editor and owner of the ''Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook'', a preseason guide roughly 400 pages long. In 1995, ''Blue Ribbon'' added an 80-page postseason supplement which was released the night the brackets were announced. So that the release could be timely, Lunardi began predicting the selection committee's bracket.〔〔 On February 25, 1996, ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'' referred to Lunardi as a ''bracketologist'', which is the first known instance the term was applied to a college basketball expert.〔 While Lunardi did not recall using the term before its use in the article, ''Inquirer'' writer Mike Jensen credits its origins to Lunardi. Lunardi soon started the website Bracketology.net,〔 and ESPN began running his predictions in exchange for a link to his website.〔〔 By 2002, Lunardi had his own Bracketology page with ESPN.〔 He also teaches an online course at Saint Joseph's University titled "Fundamentals of Bracketology".〔(Bracketology | Saint Joseph's University )〕
