Hey joisey fan, what do we know about this Charlie Creme fellow who seems to have more authority than almost anyone else in college sports today?

He has no authority, he's a sportswriter, just like Joe Lunardi on the men's side.

To oversimplify, he’s a maniacal WBB fan who’s gone pro, paid by ESPN to predict the women’s bracket. His entire motivation is to mimic the thinking of the selection committee, hence his direct power is precisely zero.

Similarly to Joe Lunardi, who created all of this on the men’s side, his rep lies in his accuracy, which is significant.

Complaints should be taken up with the selection committee and the creators of the NET ratings, not Charlie.

Sometimes I wonder if he is trying to predict or to influence.

Or if he is working at the not so subtle blessing of the Committee to sound out ideas on their behalf while giving them plausible deniability.
