Re "bracketology"

[Laurence Horn]

Marginally interesting, or at least curious:

The word itself has probably been around for awhile on espn and
elsewhere (56K google hits.)  But what's weird is the pronunciation
(or at least the most frequent one) of "bracketology" (the discussion
of the brackets for the NCAA men's basketball tournament, just
selected tonight) on espn, with a flap, as if it were "brackedology".
Basically, they're not resyllabifying it the way one does with, say,
cosmetology, although of course that's not the study of cosmets.  But
if there were a field that studied comets--hey, there *are* 13K hits
for the field, not all of which are typos--I'd wager it's pronounced
with a real [t] and not a flap.  So what's up with bracke[D]ology?
