Bracketology: Let’s Make a Bracket

With Bracket Matrix up to 73 brackets reporting right now I figured why not try to create my own bracket to see how I do against the rest of the field. I’ll give you my S-curve as well as try to seed teams while following the NCAA Selection Committee’s guidelines for seeding. I’ll try to do this post at least once a week as the season progresses.

The automatic qualifiers are based on the conference standings through games on January 26th.

Be sure to send me your feedback in the comments section, via email or on Twitter. Here we go.
