OT: Jerry Palm
How does Jerry Palm still have a job as a bracketologist? He has had Michigan out of his bracket for the last week and even going into Sunday and then somehow, for no rhyme or reason at 5:00 on Sunday afternoon he updates his bracket one last time and inserts Michigan into his last 4 in. That seems extremely sketchy.
Its almost as if CBS were feeding him the final brackets from the committee meetings before they released them. I think his credibility is shot as far as predicting the brackets going into the future. I believe he missed on 3 or 4 teams last year and his shenanigans this year do not help him.
The Rutger Rivals forum has an "Official laugh at Jerry Palm" thread, so he has his share of haters.
Rutger has fans on their forum!?
Even with the cheating potential, Palm finished #193 out of 211 bracketologists in the Bracket Matrix rankings. And this fuckin' guy gets to be employed by CBS. 'Mericuh.
He was being a contrarian, until it looked bad...
Does he related to Rosie Palm and her 5 sisters?

I agree on Palm getting tipped off Sun afternoon that UM was in and he did his backtracking, but why not tip Palm off earlier in the week that UM was in even with a loss, unless there were a bunch of upsets? That would have made Palm look better if that was the committee's goal. Or maybe Palm knew and kept UM out for clicks as others have mentioned.

Is this going to be another one of those things that people latch onto to prove they are part of the in-group on MGoBlog? People make predictions, he was wrong on Michigan. So what? Move on.
Not sure what all the prognosticators' accuracy rate was. Unless he is consistently at the bottom, he's just doing his (pointless) job like everyone else.
Relax, Francis.
