Odds Defying

It’s being called the Cinderella sports story of modern times:

The Indiana University Hoosiers, a basketball school with the losingest record in college football history, won the national championship with a final record of 16-0, the most single-season wins ever.

Our favorite sports writer, Jason Gay of the Wall Street Journal, wrote of this amazing season: “This team began the season with longer odds than a lobster in a restaurant tank”

So we did our own back-of-the-envelope calculations and found that the odds of IU winning all 16 games – including wins over Oregon twice, Iowa, Ohio State, Alabama, and Miami – was roughly one in 1,500.

Those were about the long shot odds that the political geniuses gave Trump to win the 2024 election.
