Facebook Data Uses Mentions to Determine Who Will Win 2015 NCAA Tournament
After going through all of its data for the past month, Facebook has put together a "Facebook Social Bracket" that shows which college basketball team would win the 2015 NCAA tournament if creating buzz mattered.
Facebook went through and looked to see what team had the most mentions from February 15 through March 14. After going through the numbers, the social networking service determined which team would win any given matchup, with the "winner" having the most mentions of the two teams.
It actually resulted in a pretty decent bracket :
It probably wouldn't surprise many if Kentucky, Duke and Louisville made the Final Four. Ohio State may be a bit of a stretch, but with D'Angelo Russell leading the way, anything is possible.
