As a sports analyst raised on the edge of data and intuition, I’ve watched how the underdog thrives not by luck—but by pattern. In this revised 18-team playoff structure, survival isn’t about strength; it’s about silent precision. Teams that no one expects win because they read the game differently—at 3am, alone, with nothing but a chessboard and a spreadsheet. This isn’t chaos. It’s calculus in motion.
