PROBABILITIES

The probabilities computed here are based on (Monte Carlo) 10,000 computer simulations as follows: Each simulation consists of assigning game scores for all unplayed games; calculating the power ratings and conference tournaments (AQs). Next, the division (NCAA) selection criteria are applied to determine the tournament selections and seeds and finally the tournament is played out based on assigning scores to all the games played up to the championship game. When assigning scores to all games, a random number generator and power rating is used to bias the outcome of each game score. Each simulation creates conference AQs, tournament invitations and championships for each team and dividing these totals by 10,000 (and multiplying x 100) yields the probablity for all teams. The list below includes the probability in per cent of automatic qualifying (AQ) as a conference winner (D1 & D3), selection to the NCAA tournament and winning the tournament. For a complete
