Every March, sports fans around the country fill out NCAA Tournament brackets with the brightest of hope. And, every March when the dust settles on the first round games, those same fans often find themselves grieving over the wreckage of brackets undone by stunning upsets. Those upsets are what make the tournament so compelling to watch, but trying to predict those unexpected results is one of the most difficult things in all of sports. The teams that meet in the first round are always from different conferences, and often from different parts of the country as well. Thus, the typical means of measuring potential for upset winners – common opponents or even similar competition – often do not apply in these matchups.

This week Unanimous AI invited a group of college basketball fans to identify potential round one upsets in the NCAA Tournament. The participants used the revolutionary new Thinkscape platform to discuss which games in each regional had the potential to produce the biggest first round upsets. By using Thinkscape, this large group of 58 fans were able to share ideas and thoughts together through a text-based chat that produced a Conversational Swarm Intelligence (CSI) that identified games in every region that presented a strong possibility of a bracket-busting upset. Here is the result…

UPDATE #1:  We finished ROUND ONE in the top 8.5% of all brackets!

UPDATE #2:  We finished ROUND TWO in the top 5.6% of all brackets!
