Bracketology 2016: March Madness Predictions (Version 10.2)

We are only 5 days away from Selection Sunday as we continue to make our NCAA tourney predictions. Last March HoopsHD’s Jon Teitel correctly picked 66 of the 68 teams that made the tourney, including 62 right on the money or within 1 spot of their actual seed. He will spend the next week predicting which 68 teams will hear their names called on Selection Sunday, with multiple updates during the week. See below for his list of who would make the cut if they picked the field today, and let us know if you agree or disagree in the comments section.
