Web Trends: Kansas vs. Missouri

An interesting little website called Seer (developed by Hint.fm) allows you to compare sets of web trends and see how they differ and overlap. Let’s see what it can tell us about Kansas and Missouri.

Terms used: "Kansas Univeristy" vs "Missouri University"


From this first comparison we can see a couple of common terms like Basketball and Football. Not surprising Kansas has a hevaier line to basketball, but also captured the edge with football too.

Terms used: "Kansas wins" vs "Missouri wins"

Terms used: "KU wins" vs "MU wins"


These two simply show the tendency for Kansas to win and Missouri to Win-ston Churhchill. Searches for Missouri wins and MU wins resulted in nothing more than coincidental sentence about the famous general. Whereas the Kansas results show Big 12 and National Championship trends and a nice nod their dominance over in-state rival Kansas State.

Bracket Time

So you have your bracket and you have already filled in Kansas to go all the way, but the office pool rules dictate that you pick the winners of every game. So I thought I would share a couple resources that can help make picking those games a lot easier.

Poologic.com (as in Pool+Logic not Poo+Logic)

This site has a good primer in basic and advanced strategy to WIN (claims to have won $250,00 for users) office pools, but the true value comes from the Poologic Calculator. It is pool selection generator that allows you to define the point system your pool is using and then set values for other calculation criteria including different probability models. The website looks like it was made in the early 90’s, but it computationally solid.

WhatIfSports.com

This is a sports simulation website that uses statistical data to model simulated match-ups. Each year it crunches data for big dance and has it’s college basketball simulation engine play the entire tournament 2,000 times. They have successfully picked the last two national champions from these simulations. The 2010 results are shown here, but you can also simulate individual match-ups for those games where you just can’t decide who to pick.

Who else has a method for their March Madness?

There is a great picture on the cover of the Lawrence Journal World Sports page. A couple of readers submitted their “edited” versions and I had to share them.
